Why does everyone seem to dislike 1Q84? *No spoilers*

Finished it this morning.

I really enjoyed the book and never once felt like I wish it ended sooner.

Everyone complains "Oh Murakami left out so many details I want to know everything about everything in the book! He didn't wrap everything up nicely and explain exactly what everything was!"

Wat?

In 1Q84 he clearly explained about how the novella Fuka-Eri wrote did the exact same thing, the "reviews" of the novella that Tengo read said the same thing people are saying here, that it left too much up to the reader to fill in.

The ending of the book left me content with a good story, it did get a little drawn out in the end there but finished up as it should have.

"Ho ho!" says the keeper of the beat.

The thing about the details being left out.. Murakami hinted at that the whole time with the way he described Air Chrysalis. Fuka-Eri left out all the details in her book and a few of the reviews commented on how she left too much to the reader to fill in themselves. Murakami did the same thing with 1Q84 as a whole, left out all the details that Fuka-Eri didn't put into her novella.

NJ.com comments are wonderful in their uniform hate of absolutely every single story posted. Doesn't matter if its left, right. Democrat, conservative, the commenters hate everyone.

Hush! People don't get as much karma for these kinds of posts. The real money is in pictures of magical plants growing in your driveway that you just don't know how it got there.

News and real world politics doesn't sell what Reddit wants.

What do you think of the Penny Arcade people calling what Kvothe learned from the Fae "sexomancy" in their comic? Personally I find it to be a wonderfully amusing and fitting description.

(Finished the second book last night, loved it, can't want for the third, blah blah blah what you have heard a thousand times already)

Yeah but look what I said about when he goes to bed.

Your kids might be waking up early but I bet they go to bed early too. Need to decide if you want to be able to get some quiet time in the evenings with the baby asleep or do you want two days a week (I work the other 5 so I don't get to enjoy the mornings) to be able to sleep in?

Our 10 month old sleeps until 1030 or 11.

He doesn't go to bed until 11 but being able to sleep in on the weekends makes up for his late nights.

Okay cranky time:

Moonspell: Voice is too deathmetaly growly.

Danzig: naa.

Paradise Lost: Maybe.. sounds like it could have potential but might lack the Type O magic.

Katatonia: Sounds like Paradise Lost, that generic metal stuff.

Novembers Doom: Can get a little too deathy.

My Dying Bride: Could be okay.

Tiamat: Sounds like the others

I really don't mean to be a pita but that's my exact issue. I really want to find something that moves me the way Type O does but I just cannot do it.

The bands you posted are good, I do enjoy all of their stuff, but it is missing... something.

Like this.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eanzUgYF9SU it's perfect. Put it on, lay back, let it move you. Maybe Peter Steele was magical.

Never talk to the police.

Dude should have left it there and never mentioned it to anyone.

That's the entire point of this whole post. I am looking for collections.

The one thing that is specific to it is that it had a bee attack in it.

No way it could be that one.. those movies are so impossible to see that it wouldn't have been it. At least before they were all somehow leaked to torrents.

We did see Drawing Restraint 9 at the IFC center a few years back.. what a trip.

LordJezo · 6 days

yeah, I know those but I can only find individual series or songs. What I want is a "Best of 2009 - 2011 Anime Music!" crazy collections with tons of stuff in them, not needing to download everything on their own.
