I've never felt this at peace finishing a Murakami novel. I have so many questions that won't receive answers, but I am satisfied with what wonderful morsels I was given. A book I'd love to dissect and pick apart, but also one that I'd love to leave at the bottom of a dried up well - forever as it is in my mind right now. 

Disgustingly slow at times, but even the slow things are fascinating (just not my exact cup of tea).
