       | Can anyone recommend a good book from him you enjoyed?

         | I love his short stories. Try the collection "The Elephant
         | Vanishes." It was my introduction to Murakami. It's amazing. I
         | think it gives a good sense of the range of his wild
         | imagination, and how quickly he can go from the ordinary to the
         | unexpected. After that I was hooked and ended up reading almost
         | all of his novels.

         | Hmmm... Only read two, "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" and
         | "Norwegian Wood". The first was, I thought, overly dark,
         | disturbing. The latter maybe a bit too twee? Very different
         | from one another for sure.
         | 
         | Others no doubt will disagree, but I am not sure I would
         | recommend either. To be sure though, "The Wind-Up Bird
         | Chronicle" had the biggest impact on me, is a wild and strange
         | book. As an example, without giving too much away, the
         | protagonist seems to have an unhealthy obsession with climbing
         | down to the bottom of very deep wells (pits) and just hanging
         | out.
