I'm reading Haruki Murakami's novels and stories in chronological order by release date. I just finished The Elephant Vanishes short stories from 1980-1991. With some of his stories, it's as if he's weaving out these fantasy situations that are just what he thinks would be the coolest and sexiest thing that could happen to his character. Sometimes it gets a little indulgent. My favorite is still A Wild Sheep Chase from 1982. It is very spooky.
Right now, I'm reading South of the Border, West of the Sun (1992). I'm debating just skipping this one. Right after this is The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1994), supposed to be one of his best.
If you are reading something and not enjoying yourself, do you put it down or keep reading?
