The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

what did I just read?!?!
This was my first Murakami, and I still don't know if I want to read any other.
This was a mind boggling good book, after 600+ pages I still have no idea what the book was about, but I loved it.
it took me away from my own mind and worries and issues, and somedays that is all a book needs to do, confuse your problems away.
The Chronicles was just perfect and I cannot explain why, but I do agree with some of the reviews. either you love this book or you hate it. there can be no in between
