1Q84

Yep, this book is long, and feels draggy toward the middle / early end. Worse, it leaves some of its more interesting themes and plotlines on the table. But I love Murakami and certainly found things about this book to like... and the story and characters kind of stick with you. I wouldn't recommend anyone who hasn't read his books before start here, but I enjoyed it despite, or maybe even because of, its flaws.

I find myself looking at the moon more carefully now.
