The world is about to change...
Least, it is if this website is to be believed.
It's not come up much in all the time I've been blogging, but I am a huge Haruki Murakami fan - it doesn't get much better than Kakfa on the Shore - and now that The Islanders is behind me, the book I've been getting all googly-eyed thinking about, without a shadow of a doubt, is IQ84.
In the UK, Harvill Secker will be releasing all three parts of this massive novel (his first since After Dark in 2007) in two editions due on the 18th and the 25th of October. That's this month! Meanwhile, back at the ranch - ie. in America-ca-ca - Knopf have assembled IQ84 into a single vast volume, due on the Tuesday before Halloween.
Me... I kinda wish there was an English-language edition divided as this book was upon its initial release in Japan, into three individual volumes - the better to look all pretty-like in my library - but I'll take what I can get, and gladly.

IQ84 been called Murakami's magnum opus by those in the know, and before now, all I've had it in my power to do is hope that that's the case. Today, praise the publicists, Harvill Secker have made my hopes that much more material, releasing a free sample of IQ84 for your Kindle device and mine.
Grab it here.
Bear in mind that if you don't have a Kindle, or the Kindle app for your phone or tablet or whatever, you can still download the reader software for your PC... so there's really no excuse to pass up on this delightful little glimpse of what wonders I imagine there are to come in IQ84.
Here's the book trailer, in case you're still not convinced:
Roll on the 18th of October, right?
So. Anyone else hyped for new Haruki Murakami, or is it really just me?
