The Strange Library

Haruki Murakami (Get this book)
Another off-kilter yarn from master storyteller Murakami: allegorical, shadowy and not at all nice. Murakami loves two things among many: Franz Kafka and secret places. This latest, brief and terse, combines those two passions in the frightening vision of a hapless young man who, returning two books-How to Build a Submarine and Memoirs of a Shepherd-to the library, is sent to Room 107, deep in a basement he didn't know existed. At once beguiling and disquieting-in short, trademark Murakami-a fast read that sticks in the mind.--Kirkus
