Just finished reading Haruki Murakami's 'Kafka on the Shore'. Which was by far the strangest book I've read in a long time. Japanese storytelling and motives with two very divergent storylines (until the finally meet) and a group of characters that were gripping even though they feel like only the surface was scratched in their descriptions. I could never read more than 10 pages in a sitting without having to make a pause and allow my mind to follow all the questions that arose. Definitely not something I would recommend to read by the pool on a vacation but something if you're looking for a change of pace.
