Haruki Murakami: 1Q84 (2011, Alfred A. Knopf)

The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.

1Q84 is awful

DNF'd because it isn't good and I realized I was only 10% through. I couldn't take another bad Sexual conversation or pedophilic line of thought.

Aomame has very awkward Sexual encounters. Sean Connery's head shape is mentioned many times.

"I know youre thinking my breasts are small," she said coldly as she looked down at him in her underwear. "You came through with a good-sized cock and all you get in return is these puny things. I bet you feel cheated."'
