The Strange Library by Haruki MurakamiMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Strange Library is more art than it is literature. Any attempt to describe what reading it feels like would be...inadequate. It is not so much the emotiveness of the book either, just the mere surrealness of holding it and flipping through it. Surreal and subtle. It looks and feels incredibly textured, with the pages being colored and images scattered through. It all comes together to make something very unique.
There's not much more to say. It's short, yes, but you need to take your time with it. It calls out for that. You read this once and then flip through it again and again to absorb the pictures and the simplicity of the plot. It's something special. An experience. Art.
