Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage
by Haruki Murakami
This was the first book I've read by this author. It was very engaging and kept me interested till the very end. It isn't as neat as most books are, it leaves you wondering about a handful of things--ideas, people, mysteries.
The main character was very familiar to me. He's someone we all know on the surface, someone we have all been underneath. It's about all these thoughts and feelings we drag around as if they're some precious jewel and not a weight that is dragging us under. It was sad and hopeful and light and dark. It was a series of lines in space that I expected to converge, but didn't. At least in this instance, Murakami wasn't writing a story, he was writing the way that people live.
