  Though I don't really get the basic idea of this book (ex. what Little People means..?!), it is a very romantic story to me. Hopefully, one day, I will meet the one who shares the same moon with me, even if it is just a blue paper moon...

  i accidentally read book 2 before book 1. still could grasp what's the plot. so i guess there's not much twist in the plot and the plot is not, as always, the essence Murakami Haruki's novel. it's about the unique writ and expression he's using. there're so many touches and carefully crafted sentences which are so unmistakably "Murakami Haruki". impressed but not really moved. maybe i'm no longer the innocent youth that read norwegian wood almost 20 years ago . . .

  This time, Murakami wrote for the sake of writing.

  When a writer calls himself a skillful liar, he must lie in order to tell the truth: the TRUTH of HISTORY. If there is such a philosophy of time in Haruki Murakami it must be a response to Nietzsche’s eternal return. 1Q84 is such an attempt at its highest clarity. Indeed, 1Q84 shouldn’t be understood as a disappointment nor the condemnation of the revolutionary social movement in the 60s, instead it must be read as Murakami’s attempt to response to the apocalyptic moment of our time: the exhaustion of the repetitive retrieval of the lost ground. And it is precisely the repetition of this melancholic feeling itself demands an alternative realism as a remedy to its suffering. Murakami seeks no shelter in the Greek tragedy, nor in the Hegelian Dialectics, interestingly he turns to Sir James Frazer, a Victorian anthropologist. What is the discovery of Murakami? And what can we discover from the SEARCHING of HIS PHILOSOPHY of TIME?

  作者如何在虛擬的小說裏述說歷史的真相？ 村上春樹在他的最新長篇小說 《1Q84》 裏竟以尼采式的「永劫回歸」鋪設兩個主角的命運線： 歷史、 回憶、現實不斷錯失也互為影響。書中有一個有趣的重要角色誕生：人類學家的介入。這個角色給我們什麼啟示？村上式的時間哲學是怎樣的？讓我們在故事還未結束的當下嘗試一一尋找答案。

  Murakami never disappointed me. Gotta love this one too. Probably because half of the book was from female view point, it becomes much easier for me to get into it. (or just because of Chinse?) So many lines by Aomame hit my heart deeply. Already start reading the second time, without the urge to chase for what happen next, I can dig into lines and digest in my own pace. Surprises, coincidents, foreshadowing are everywhere and make the second journey so much more fun~ Can't wait for the following chapters.

  Thinking

  I am a little disappointed with the ending though I think the main thought the auther want to express is Anti-DV (Domestic Violence). The story is not very important.
