"A Wild Sheep Chase" by Haruki Murakami

Again, athoughtful and introspective novel about various themes that visit you when you are alone and too tired to change your mind. While I sometimes think it teeters on depression, the story moves along in a unusual path and keeps the plot fresh.
I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but it is very nice compared to Murakami's other works. It also has a great chance of NEVER being made into a bastardized movie.
There is a chase, it is isn't always outside the mind, and the clarity of the story is completely due to the authors/translators elegant style.
