I love all of your choices, but 1Q84, A Wild Sheep Chase and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle would all make my top 5. Beautiful images, by the way. :)

[@harukimurakamiart]

Thank you so much!

[@jabbejonsson2773]

I really think killing comendatore is underrated. Definitely my top 3 as well!

[@harukimurakamiart]

What are your favorite Murakami books? Let me know in the comments!

[@AbbySandoitchi]

I have too many books at this moment. Not a complaint, but before I indulge into further reading, I would just like to say that the expression of "escape" is most disturbing. I don't agree with it. "There is no escape"...

[@ctsuhako1]

My top 5 favorites would be: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles, 1Q84, Dance, Dance, Dance, A Wild Sheep Chase and Norwegian Wood.

Beautiful video and editing

[@parkerrose3590]

All his books are very special to me. It's almost like he has spoiled it for me to love any other books.

Hi I’m Paul avid reader,71y.o.,1)Wind up Bird, 2)1Q84,3)Killing Commendatory,4)Kafka on the shore. All of which are at the top of my list,then 5. Hard boiled wonderland… 6)south of the border… 7)dance “”,all are enjoyable and I’ll read them again but not at the level of my top 4. Sounds like a downplay, no really good 3 out of 5stars. Forgotten Wild sheep chase sheep chase which has a level of its own between the first 2 categories at 4 out of 5 stars. What I think about…running. Was an exceptional read as I have done a lot of long distance running and cycling in the past.good for an introduction of the writer. And I would place it in the top5 out of 5 group but different because it’s non fiction. I’ve just finished an epic read of Les miserables,and want to revisit Murakami,so have commenced After dark. I must say that I’ve read all the above books straight,as usually I change authors, there’s so many out there, and so little time that I want to visit as many as possible. So testament to Murakami, he’s written the most books I’ve I’ve read of one author, And I will endeavour to read more of his intriguing immaginitive books. ( don’t like the sexbits but you can ignore them, he’s such a good writer.

Thank you dear Paul!

[@jacebman10]

Would love to see a Murakami ranked/tier list video :)

[@ornleifs]

My favourites are Hardboiled Wonderland - The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles - Kafka on the Shore - 1Q84 - Norwegian Wood.

[@joshua2329]

Such a wonderful video. Just subscribed. A beautiful image for all Murakami fans is from 1Q84 when Tengo is sitting in the park looking up at the two moons. 🌕🌕.. I would love to see what artwork you can find.

[@harukimurakamiart]

Thank you for your wonderful comment. Once I have finished 1Q84, I will make a video just on this :)

[@AldoChinen1975]

Mine are: iq84, kafka on the shore, norwegian woods, sputnik Sweetheart, this four in no particular order, and the best is the wind up bird chronicle

[@yxvoegl2263]

My favorites of his books, if you really want to know, are After Dark, Wind Up Bird Chronicle, Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Wild Sheep Chase, and Killing Commandatore. But to be honest I like nearly everything he's written.

[@micahlawrence8684]

Kafka is my favorite as well, though I’ve only read 4 of his books.

[@billcaddell3848]

Norwegian wood...have read it 8 times, my all-time favorite.

[@israfaeldari5532]

I love Haruki, he transport you to a parallel universe! So magical.

[@h.sch.5717]

His best novels are missing: 1Q84 & The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle 😥

[@harukimurakamiart]

Check out my 2nd rating ;) And a special video on The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is coming soon.

[@anomiceleven]

Wind-Up Bird Chronicle isn't on your list? That is a shame - it is by far my favourite. And the Trilogy of the Rat deserves some mention (I know it is actually 4 books)... Excellent discussion. AfterDark is very haunting... Thanks for the video!

[@harukimurakamiart]

The list will be updated soon :) Check out my After Dark review, it is has been uploaded lately.
