Why do you guys always jizzom your pants after this one? It has nothing to do with 2666 thematically, just a well drawn picture that inspires I assume urban ennui and better fit as a cover for Murakami

I like it because it caters to the different aspects of the book. some covers are really dramatic and portentous, and I imagine readers cracking open a novellas worth of pleasant comedy about literary types at the start. But you want the darker content to be reflected too. The party next to a barren waste theme just seems right.
I also like looking into the windows.

All the cover arts by John Howe. I can't believe that publishers in the US and UK don't release editions with his art anymore. I think Latin America and Spain are the only region where you can walk into a bookstore an buy a new edition of TLOTR, The Hobbit or The Silmarillion with Howe's covers.

His looks are often described as "boyish" in the book, so I imagine it's appropriate. The Vane brother says he "can't be older than 20".

I genuinely despise this cover, the 20th anniversary addition is 10x better and even the original printing’s cover captures the spirit of the book more.
