In Kafka on the Shore, Murakami, Japan's leading literary novelist continues his remarkable combination of profound insight into humankind with a totally credible touch of the fantastical ? ?...like an Indiana Jones movie or something.? The teenager Kafka Tamura runs away from home to the island of Shikoku, where he spends his time at a private library. Concurrently, Satoru Nakata, a finder of lost cats, goes on an odyssey across Japan in search of an ?entrance stone.? Gradually, these parallel stories interweave in an engaging and moving novel.

i spread my hands out in front of me and take a good hard look at them. what am i always so tense about? why this desperate struggle just to survive? i shake my head, turn from the window, clear my mind of thoughts of a hundred years away. i’ll just think about now. about books waiting to be read in the library, machines in the gym i haven’t worked out on. thinking about anything else isn’t going to get me anywhere.
