The man insists that knowledgeable brains taste better so he insists that the boy read tomes of books for a few months before he is going to be eaten. Or of food, for that matter, which are normally typical themes within Murakami’s books.Ī boy, whose mother is expecting him home for dinner, gets lured into a strange section of the library by an old man who wants to eat his brains. It’s the tamest Murakami book I’ve read so far as well as there are no sexual references within this book. I mean, most of Murakami’s works are strange but this short novel had a different feel to it. The plot of The Strange Library is strange indeed. It’s the kind of book that’s hard to say no to when you see on the shelf at a library or bookstore. The novella is its own form of art with its unique open-flap cover and varying font formats and sizes throughout its pages. This is a perfect example of a book that you should not read on any sort of e-reader.
