K, so I finally read A Wild Sheep Chase this week. Although I really loved the story, I got the feeling that there was some mythology that I was missing out on, as if I would have gotten more out of it had I been up to speed on some things that I'm not up to speed on. Is an evil sheep a thing in some Eastern myths? Either way, I couldn't put it down. I read his most recent one the previous week, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage. Wouldn't recommend it, I don't think. But that's the thing; I don't really know. It left me with a feeling like I couldn't tell if I liked it or hated it. I kept turning the pages in anticipation, but then it just kinds of ends with whimper.
