For me, 'Sputnik Sweetheart' is also quite thought - provoking. It's a story about love and loneliness. The way Murakami writes about the unrequited love and the sense of isolation makes you reflect on the nature of human relationships and our own insecurities.
Definitely 'The Wind - Up Bird Chronicle'. It's a complex web of stories. There are so many different elements, from the political undertones to the exploration of personal identity. It really makes you think about how our lives are intertwined with the bigger picture of society and history.
I think 'Hard - Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World' is very thought - provoking. It has a really unique structure with two different worlds being presented. It makes you think about the relationship between the mind and reality.
Another great one from the list is 'Kafka on the Shore'. It has elements of magic realism. There are two parallel storylines that eventually converge in a very interesting way. The book is full of Murakami's unique charm in exploring the human psyche.
I think '1984' is very thought - provoking. It warns about the dangers of totalitarianism. It makes you think about privacy, freedom of thought, and the power of the state over the individual.
I think 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald is very thought - provoking. It shows the hollowness of the American Dream through the character of Jay Gatsby. His pursuit of wealth and the love of Daisy Buchanan ultimately leads to his downfall, making us question what we really strive for in life.

I don't know which book you're referring to. You can tell me what you want to know and I will try my best to answer your questions.
Probably 'Norwegian Wood'. It's popular because it has a strong sense of nostalgia. It tells a love story that many people can relate to, with themes of love, loss, and growing up.
There are mentions of eggs as well. Eggs can be cooked in different ways in his novels, like a simple boiled egg for breakfast. It shows the simplicity of life and the basic needs of the characters. And then there's miso soup. Miso soup is a staple in Japanese cuisine, and its presence in the novels can add a touch of authenticity to the Japanese setting.
'1Q84' also has strong romantic elements. The relationship between the two main characters, Aomame and Tengo, is a key part of the story. The mystery and the unique world - building in the novel combined with their relationship make it very popular among those interested in Murakami's take on romance.
In my opinion, 'A Scanner Darkly' is also extremely thought - provoking. It shows the struggle of a drug - addicted undercover cop and explores themes of self - destruction, surveillance, and the blurring of identity. The unique narrative style, with the use of a drug - induced state as a filter for the story, really makes you think about the nature of reality and how we perceive it. It's also a very poignant look at the effects of drug use on an individual and society at large. The characters are complex and their relationships are fraught with tension and confusion, which all adds to the overall sense of unease and the need to really consider the deeper meanings within the story.
For me, 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood is extremely thought - provoking. It's a feminist dystopia that shows a world where women are subjugated in a very extreme way. It makes you question gender roles, power dynamics, and the importance of fighting for basic human rights. It's a cautionary tale about the direction society could take if certain values are eroded.
