I considered reading Murakami's latest novel, then read a review suggesting that it was typical Murakami, except longer and slower. Despite having read a lot of Murakami's recent novels, I realized I hadn't read his most famous works.
Kafka on the Shore is still incredibly poignant despite having come out in 2002. It is an exploration of identity, understanding, love, and loss. It is about making choices, being responsible for our actions, and doing what is required even when it's difficult.
