"Now I know how dangerous the forest can be ... I'd never imagined that trees could be so weird and unearthly ... [The trees here] have a physical power, their breath grazing any humans who might chance by, their gaze zeroing in on the intruder as though they've spotted their prey. As though they have some dark, prehistoric, magical powers."

What a breathtaking, wondrous journey this book takes you on. Thoroughly transported at this point.

"Mr Hoshino, I don't know how many times I have to say this, but I'm not dressed up as anybody. I am Colonel Sanders. Don't get mixed up here, all right?"
"Ok ... But if you're the real Colonel Sanders, what the heck are you doing working as a pimp in a back alley in Takamatsu?"
Anywhere else this would be tacky. Johnny Walker (whiskey man) and Colonel Sanders (fried chicken man) in the same novel. Classic.

The Oedipus prophecy enters the book. "Some day you will murder your father and be with your mother".

So glad to be finally reading Murakami's Kafka, the most thoroughly cat-ridden of any of his books I've read so far. I'm jealous. If only I could talk to cats too.

"That person's shadow, too, looked as though half of it had become separated from him. It was as faint as yours".
"I see."
"What I think is this: you should give up looking for lost cats and start searching for the other half of your shadow."
And so the conversation goes between Nataka and Otsuka, the cat. Cats and shadows again! But you know, it never gets old.
