Very well said. I read this earlier this year and I guess I can't say I understood it. But the book affected me emotionally, and I think that's what it was aiming for. “Some of our most sacred emotions are those that would be destroyed by expressing them with words, and this novel calls those out.”

But with the pleasure I had getting through this one, I think it'll be easier now. I've also heard people say "DON'T read Kafka first." I dunno why. I suppose it doesn't matter.

This one's been on my TBR list for a looooong time. I haven't read any Murakami, so just anything of his has been on my list. I haven't heard a single bad review of this one though, so I'm looking forward to it. This one's sitting on my shelf along with The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle...everyone says to read Kafka on the Shore first as my "intro book", so I guess I'll do that.
