I read an interview from April of last year with Harukisan and in this interview he was speaking about his new novel being a horror... So, is IQ84 a horror? Darn it I wish I could read Japanese, how long would it take me to learn it, just in time for the translation to come out I expect..... …thanks everyone for the suggestions.

You can't beat that. I'd recommend "A Prayer for Owen Meany" over "The World According to Garp" as John Irving's best, and most Murakamiish. (It's Irving's favorite too, I read somewhere.)
