Colourless
Tsukuru Tazaki has always been a very average guy who didn't really care about much. The exception being his group of colorful friends, and perhaps train stations. When he graduates high school he decides to move to Tokyo to pursue his interest in train stations, but this decision leads to something that traumatizes him for years to come. His group of friends completely and without explanation cut him off. 16 years later Tsukuru Tazaki is urged to confront his friends about why they left him in order to move on from his dark and painful past. Haruki Murakami's latest book is thought provoking and intense. It takes you on a dark and mysterious journey addressing that which cannot be explained by logic, the profound effect of death and the individual toll it takes, and the darkness everyone sometimes finds within themselves.
