There goes my plan to read IQ84 in its native language before it's in English :(
You still have until October 25th!
... Though I have no idea how fast you read Japanese.
About a thousand lines of Aiyoku no Eustia every night over the course of about two hours (guessing about 30 pages equivalent in Japanese), with the aid of a dictionary and I need someone to sanity check my comprehension about once every 100 lines, note that Eustia has pretty plain Japanese and the only difficult parts are the mountains of aristotalk.
I can't even imagine beginning to tackle Murakami's Japanese when I'm reading the equivalent of pulp fiction and struggling.
But the translations are good enough that I have no excuse not to read them.
