Which book after IQ84?

I've only read one of Haruki Murakami's books, 1Q84, and thought it was quite amazing. So what fiction book would a hard-core reader suggest I read next? If it helps, I love science fiction, including dystopia worlds, and fantasy. I've not read much historical fiction, but have enjoyed some good ones that I've read. I really know very little about Murakami. I think one of his books is about clones and I probably would like that one....

He's our Dec author in Monthly Author Reads and there's lots of discussion about many of his books, feel free to check it out here and join us :)

I know it's been a couple months since you asked, but two of my favorite Haruki Murakami books are Norwegian Wood and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle. All of his books tend to be pretty surreal. I have to read his books several times as I find myself making new connections or picking up on new subtleties with each reread. The Wind-up Bird Chronicle is probably more similar to 1Q84, but they're both really good! Norwegian Wood is a nostalgic story of loss and burgeoning sexuality, while the Wind-up Bird Chronicle involves a myriad of sub-stories along the main character's search for his wife (and his cat). Have you had time to read another Murakami Book since December? If so, what did you think?

Turns out I have Wind-Up Bird Chronicle already, so thanks for the tip!
