Without my computer and before I remembered I have DS games other than pokemon, I was marathoning a book called 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.
And it is perfect.
I mean, holy shit. I can't think of any other way to describe this ridiculous silly epic. It's perfect. Characterization is perfect, plotting is amazing and the writing style is such a sumptuous delicacy to read I am shocked every paragraph that this is actually a translated novel. The translator deserves five rounds of applause. No novel has made me feel this way since American Gods and One Hundred Years of Solitude.
This is the second Murakami book I've read, and having read and not really understood Kafka on the Shore I wasn't really expecting that much but really holy shit.
