Book 2: The Strange Library

"The Strange Library" by Murakami tells the unfortunate tale of a young boy who goes to the library and tells the librarian that he is looking  for a book.  He is sent down to a basement room where an old man brings him three old books on his topic of choice and then escorts him to the Reading Room, which turns out to be a cell.

This is my first time reading anything by Murakami.  The characters were odd but interesting.  The plot was rather eccentric but still enjoyable.  Perhaps another year I'll give a longer one of his books a try.  I think I prefer my plots to be a little more logical (even fantasy worlds have rules).
