^ i haven't read lolita for similar reasons.
but i liked murakami's kafka on the shore even though it was really weird/dreamlike and involved incest. (haven't read 1Q84)

hehe.....yeah, I don't plan on ever reading lolita. I haven't read anything else by Marakumi. Maybe it was the translation, but I just didn't enjoy his writing style, especially his use of analogies and metaphors, and there were many. They just seemed odd and not relevant. 1Q84 had a dreamlike quality to it and parts of it were fascinating for sure, but otherwise, meh. I just lost interest halfway through.

It's kind of trade off really. I enjoy reading a lot of Stephen King, and I believe that you mentioned you liked some of his works as well, but sometimes he writes so tangentially that I start to lose interest. But, I often love the depth of his imagination, the world that he creates, or the atmosphere and feelings he evokes, that I'm willing to force my way through them. His work can be very dreamy and enjoyable as well.
