The name made me pick up the book. this short read was no less than a bomb. Imagine going to a library like any other normal day for returning some books, then you met an old man who is like a librarian, you asked him for more books but something about him was ominous, you try to avoid and go home. But he won't let you go! It's a story of a boy, a shipman, & some bizzare tales The relationship of library and reader made it more spooky & terrifying. The next part will just keep you on your edge. It's just one of Murakami's way, he will left you with your thought without answering anything & you need to figure it out.
