    Kafka on the Shore

    Has anyone read this book by Haruki Murakami? If so, could you please explain it to me? I'm feeling rather dumb...

    Just finished it up too. Trying to digest the ending. I enjoyed it up until about the last 10 pages...

    Not his usual style of ending a book. I liked it a lot, but the ending was weird. Still liked hard boiled wonderland the best, but what do i know.

    Im rereading that again freeskisquaw..been quite some time. Personally my favs of his are South of the Boarder, West of the Sun, Dance Dance Dance, and A wild sheep chase. Underground and the Sarin gas attacks was an interesting read as well.

    I agree that it wasnt his usual style but find myself like Gin going ???
