Murakami no more

I can't get into Murakami right now. This is the second time I'm trying, but I just can't seem to get into it. All I want to do is delve into the fantasy world of Robert Jordan, filled with Aes Sedai and the Dragon Reborn. I think it's because Murakami is too real. He makes me think, and all I'm in the mood for is to escape.
