Ok this is my first classic that I have read (well read by choice and not for school) and I really liked this book I stayed away from this because I thought it would be boring and difficult, but the language is easy to understand.

I did find Henry insufferable though when stuff is getting interesting this man is all like ooh let me just talk about my ideals or this might have just been me disliking monologues
I was so mad when Sybil’s brother died, but i cannot decide if I would have liked that ending more or the regular one
On the topic of endings, that was a really good (but a little anticlamic) one in a poetic sense it is good enough but I wish it were a bit more dramatic

Edit just found out that Henry was supposed to be a bad dude and symbolize the devil and be the reason Dorian is corrupted my view on this book is way different now

Ok my first actual murakami book, I started Kafka on the shore and advidly disliked it (however I would like to reread it as I have matured a lot since then) I really enjoyed this

I really like how gripping this was despite when you think about nothing really happens
The character development is so subtle from how he starts eating well and no longer feeling scuicudal
I really wanted to know what was up with sara
I also probably really liked this book because I am a lot alike to the main dude
But what happens to Haida? And what was up with that homoerotic tension twords the end of their friendship?????
