Book : A Wild Sheep Chase

 How will you react if someone says that a "Sheep" has entered me. Well for followers of mysticism and believers of supernatural it is totally plausible. But in the society of scientific minded people it will be hard to digest.

Author Haruki Murakami doesn't disappoint with his dual mode of writing. It is both commonplace and bizarre at the same time. The main character of this story is forced by powers of much importance to find a particular sheep in a months time or else his life will be destroyed. All this because he has a picture of a flock of sheep which contains this peculiar sheep.

A story of absurd notion. Where will someone find a sheep in any city or place based on a picture. However it is all possible in Murakami world.
