Pros
- Parent context: Kafka on the Shore, by Haruki Murakami Reply: voting for his one as well, or the Wind-up bird chronicle. Tbf, I don't know what the lessons would be but they sure helped me through a rough time
- To give an idea of my taste, here are some books I’ve really enjoyed: ... *Kafka on the Shore* by Haruki Murakami
- *Kafka on the Shore* by Haruki Murakami might be a good one. I read it earlier this year on a recommendation from a friend, and it was weird. Definitely a "logical next step" from sci-fi
- I’m disturbed and impressed by the writing at the same time. The scene where the oddly dressed man starts eating cat hearts is wild.
- Non sci-fi: Kafka on the Shore - Haruki Murakami
Cons
- Just dabbled in some novels on and off, like Kafka on the Shore or The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, neither of which I’ve finished.
- I’ve read a few books by Hiruki Murikami now (Kafka on the Shore, Norwegian Wood, Men Without Women, Hard-Bouked Wonderland &TEOTW.) While I see the appeal, I think he is a bit too impressionistic for my tastes.

Non sci-fi: Kafka on the Shore - Haruki Murakami
PS. Murukami's Kafka on the Shore isn't heavy at all. It's an incredibly beautiful and often very funny read. I'd actually recommend this for a fan of Fight Club.
I like Kafka On The Shore better, but I've been in the minority of people I've talked to on that
