Lists: Murakami Haruki

This is a personal challenge I’ve decided to take on long ago, but I see that lots of people are doing it here. Incidentally, I also copied the list from that blog.

I’m able to read books in several languages (not Japanese, though; not yet), so if there’s a book published in a language other than English that has not appeared in English translation, I’ll add it to the list. As far as I know, this is not the case for now, so I’m using the English list, but will possibly read some books in other translations. They’ll be marked accordingly, because I’m anal retentive like that.

Start: 2001 (when I first read Kaze no uta wo kike)
