No release date for English translation of Haruki Murakami's 1Q84 has been set yet. But I wish I could get it right now. Yes, I'm hugely obsessed with Murakami's work. I like his passive, almost ignored protagonists, and his deft handling of contemporary themes with his sharp statement and humour. Murakami is no doubt a great thinking writer, and I take pleasure in noting that he has an ever-growing following of readers across the world.
Since I have to wait for a while for the book, I satisfy my appetite by reading all kinds of news and views about the novel.
According to informed critics, 1Q84 is Haruki Murakami's magnum opus.

I have always thought it funny how every single one of Murakami's protagonists loves Jazz on vinyl records and dislikes CDs.
Hi from Japan! Today, on Dec. 4 was announced on the TV news that 1Q84 has been voted The book of the year 2009. Some 2,230,000 have been sold so far.
