I finished it this weekend, and really did love it through and through. and I think I sort of lost my way through Wind-up Bird Chronicles. I do like Murakami, but I have a weird relationship with his books. Usually if I love an author, I'll track down all of his books and read them in one go. With Murakami, I can only take small doses at a time, even while I admire his writing and imagination while reading the book.. I close it, and I don't want more Murakami for a good time. But 1Q84 is up there as one of my favorites, and it makes me want to seek out more of his books. I never did get around to reading Kafka on the Shore...
