Really excellent, heartbreaking book. Really identified with the character and glad I found peace with the dorky oddball I am. *****

Gorgeous, devastating book. Just lyrical. I think Haruki Murakami might be the next author I get into.

I'm probably the only one who says this is his favorite Murakami novel but, man, it's just so good.
