Trigger warnings. Appropriate or not?
My opinion is that at university level, they are not necessary, but I would still like to warn students that certain parts of the book have strong sexual imagery. You are welcome to leave the classroom during these parts of the book. There will be no questions in the final exam on these parts.

Recommended further reading (after this course ends):
1. The Wind Up Bird Chronicle (quite surreal, but fairly easy to follow. Considered his best book)
2. Kafka on the Shore (very surreal, but still easy to follow. Some also consider this his best)
3. 1Q84 (easy to follow, and easy to read. His longest most recent book)
4. South of The Border, West of the Sun (considered a good starting point novel)
5. After Dark (short, and easy to follow)
