The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

It may have taken me a year exactly to finish this book, but not because the book itself didn't hold my attention...just blame it on a growing stack of must-reads from my public library addiction. Although bits here and there did seem a bit long winded, in hindsight I would not wish for any of them to have been edited out. I have to agree with everyone who calls Murakami a genius- this is unlike anything else I have ever read and I will most certainly be reading more of his.
