Title: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
Author: Haruki Murakami
Borrowed from DC Public Library (AudioBook)
Started: 4/21/2015
Finished: 5/11/2015
It took me three full weeks to get through this one, which is something like 23 or 24 hours long. I had no idea it was such a huge book, and such a long read, but I didn't mind -- I loved it.
I'm not sure what was going on, really, or more to the point I'm not sure what the ultimate message was supposed to be. But this was just such an enjoyable experience, and was expertly read by Rupert Degas. I would never have been able to have read the character of May Kasahara in my head, the way Degas reads her, and the novel would have been much less enjoyable without his inflections. I think I looked forward to May's interactions with the main character Toru more than any other part of the book (outside of the WW2 stories, maybe).
Anyway, an excellent long read, that I finished just a few hours shy of the mandatory return date by my public library.
