This project analyzes user-generated text data from Reddit to explore how readers discuss and respond to the works of Haruki Murakami, one of my favorite authors, whose writing has inspired me to undertake this study. Murakami has been writing and publishing since the late 1970s, achieving international fame with Norwegian Wood (1987), whose English translations introduced his distinctive blend of magical realism, surrealism, and themes of love, loneliness, and music to a worldwide audience. His literature has historically received mixed reviews - praised for its imaginative storytelling, dreamlike narrative style, and evocative atmospheres, while occasionally critiqued for the perceived emotional detachment in his characters or sometimes the repetition of certain themes. By combining n-gram analysis, sentiment scoring, and NRC-based emotional categorization, this study aims to identify frequently mentioned book titles, reveal patterns in genre recognition, and highlight both positive reception and critical engagement among readers.
