"what a slog! i read 2-3% before bed because it makes me tired. i’m reading this for book club but the way murakami writes about women in insufferable. why, in every 2% increment, is a woman’s chest or physique discussed and sexualized? no one is exempt, not older women, not children, UGH!!!! i will likely be slowly reading this book for years." — Oct 07, 2025 09:58AM
