 Have been seeing the title of this book in everywhere and finally I had a chance to read it. Finished it in two days and I feel the heartbreak, sorrow, heartfelt, and anger all at once. I found many good quotes that I keep in my note to make me strive to be deadly alive; how I respect loss and happiness in the form of love. The simplicity of life that Nakata has and the deep depression Kafka need to face in each page drive me through and through but I am elated to witness the fine ending!

“Individual errors in judgment can usually be corrected. as long as you have the courage to admit mistakes, things can be turned around. But intolerant, narrow minds with no imagination are like parasites; transform the host, change form, and continue to thrive.”
