Kafka on the Shore

I'm on a reading binge! I'm now almost done with Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore, an enigmatic novel with a very original tale. The novel consists of two intertwining stories featuring 15-year old run-away student Kafka Tamura and retired feline-loving simpleton Nakata. They are both on a journey, but for different reasons. The coming-of-age story of Kafka is the perfect compliment to Nakata's "exit-of age" journey.

This is my first time reading Murakami and it won't be my last. Next up on my radar: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
