Dreamlike & Engrossing

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

Started on 30th Sept at 10:15pm, as soon as Lucknow Mail slipped out of Lucknow station.
Finished on 9th Oct at around 1:00pm, as Shatabdi Express was gliding into Lucknow station.
607 pages in 10 days. Not a very rapid read if you sit back and calculate but I was too busy for around 5-6 days in between. At times when I was reading I was oblivious to the surrounding and was one with Toru Okada.
This is not a mere novel. It’s an emotional rollercoaster which rolls back and forth between time frames, continents and the complex characters which are scattered across the pages.
A masterpiece which you know will end eventually but still want to prolong it forever........
