Murakami makes me feel better about life

Whenever I read Murakami's writing, it gives me a sense of ease about all the stressful things in my life. I don't know how to describe it, but there's something cathartic about the themes in his novels. I've felt a better sense of purpose in my life after I discovered Murakami (just over a year ago) and I just started my 12th Murakami book (Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki). Does anybody else feel like this? I know I can't be alone in feeling this way.
