A little background. I own all Murikami's English publications that I am aware of (15 or 16 plus a few magazine articles.). Typically once I start reading I read to the end with only minimal food and potty breaks along the way. (Same thing with Richard Brautigan's writing :-) )
I am about the middle of 1Q84 Book 1 chapter 3 and putting the book aside for a while.
While the story so far is interesting it seems rather stilted. It sounds as if rather than simply writing a story, Murakami is writing it so that it sounds like a Murakami story and thereby loosing some of natural flow I associate with his writing.
No way of knowing if that is the result of the authors writing or the interpreter's interpreting but either way it is, for now, to distracting for me to really get into the story like I have with the rest of his writings.
