"Fact may not be truth, and truth may not be factual"

I was in transition and desperately craving stability, so an 800+ page surrealist novel was just what the doctor ordered. 1Q84 was my first experience with Murakami and I was riveted from the start. The was in which he carefully plays with the line between the surreal and the mundane made this an all-consuming read, and the unique love story of Tengo and Aomame will stay with me forever.
