Oh no! I adore The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. It was the first Murakami novel that i read (I started with After the Quake, one of his collections of short stories) so that might have something to do with it, but i wouldn't have said that it had no resolution. I can understand that about Kafka on the Shore, although i still enjoyed that book.

I found Wild Sheep Chase to be very heavy going, and didn't really enjoy it at all, although having read Dance Dance Dance recently I'm almost inclined to go back and take another look at it.

Norwegian Wood is a gorgeous story, rather melancholy but sweet with it, and Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the Word is very good as well, but I think The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is my favourite.
