My wife knows that I'm a fan of Haruki Murakami and for my birthday she gave me his newest book Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgramage. It isn't on any of my lists so I'll keep this short... The book is about a 36 year old guy who is a bit of a loner. The reason for this is that twenty years earlier his four closest friends all decided to suddenly cut off all contact from him. I enjoyed the book because it has the usual stuff you find in a Murakami book.... weird dreams, side stories with no point, people disappearing, questions of identity, random stuff just happening, etc... though this one doesn't have any cats... and of course a whole bunch of unresolved plot points. It isn't as good as The Wind Up Bird Chronicle but better than 1Q84... I'll give it an A-.Thursday, December 18, 2014
