a nice short story about how our daily routine makes us like robots and lose the feeling of being alive that we need a day within a day for ourselves to do the things we love.

Such an awesome and amazing book. Read it in one sitting. Although I didn't understand the ending of this book, I still think Murakami never disappoints me.
