Query: Murakami, sans spirit world

If your looking for the unconventional weirdness of the Wind up Bird Chronicle et al, this isn't the place to turn. Norwegian Wood is surprisingly straightforward. It works well because Murakami really gets the texture of college life, the boredom, the weird way you sort of slip into other people's confidences and intimacies and out of them again as quickly, the strange, unbalanced people everyone seems to end up meeting and getting involved with. It's a very wistfully gentle sort of book.
