Kafka on the Shore

If you are up for a mind-bending book, try “Kafka on the Shore” by Haruki Murakami. This book kept my interest. It is told from two points to view. In alternating chapters the stories of Kafka and Nakata unfold, rushing toward an inevitable intersection. The plot is full of riddles. Some parts are magical, some daunting. The power of music and the hope of magic come through strongly. I can’t say I truly understood this book, but I found it utterly fascinated none the less.
