Re: Books you read recently that you hated.

Norwegian Wood by Murakami Haruki. I'll never understand how that book is deemed one of the best the japanese literature has to offer. It's not, imho. But I'm so alone in thinking this that I'm probably wrong and I didn't really understand it. I just know that as a person who has a family history of mental illness and depression that book was one of the worst piece of junk I've ever read. For me it was like reading one long masturbation session where the protagonist got to fuck all the women he wanted because why not?! Their mental isssues were worth nothing in the end!
If I were a dictator I'd probably ban it and order to burn all the copies. That's how much I've hated it!

Yeahhhhh this has been my experience so far with trying to get into Murakami. I tried to read IQ84 and I just couldn't with all the "litfic edgy sex scene" stuff.

It just felt like another novel written by a guy that's a thinly-veiled erotic wish-fulfilment fantasy. But it's okay, because it's ~art~. Ehhhh I hate that kind of shit, it makes my skin crawl.

Maybe it's just 2deep4me and I don't get it, but whatever. There's other stuff I'd rather be reading.

As someone with depression and other mental illnesses, I can't help but feel like you missed the point a little bit? The entire story was about how no matter how much you love someone, sometimes love isn't enough to save them. Naoko's issues and pain were too deep to ever be touched, no matter how hard either she or Toru (or Reiko for that matter) tried.

Also, I don't think Midori had any mental issues to speak of, so it's not entirely fair to include her in that.
