Wind Up Hats
Description: In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife’s missing cat—and then for his wife as well—in a netherworld beneath the city’s placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffused with comedy and menace, this is an astonishingly imaginative detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets from Japan’s forgotten campaign in Manchuria during World War II.

Description: Haruki Murakami (村上 春樹 Murakami Haruki, born January 12, 1949) is a Japanese writer. Murakami's most notable works include A Wild Sheep Chase (1982), Norwegian Wood (1987), The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1994–95), Kafka on the Shore (2002), and 1Q84 (2009–10). He has also translated into Japanese works by writers including Raymond Carver and J. D. Salinger. It is frequently surrealistic and melancholic or fatalistic, marked by a Kafkaesque rendition of the "recurrent themes of alienation and loneliness" he weaves into his narratives. Steven Poole of The Guardian praised Murakami as "among the world's greatest living novelists" for his works and achievement.
Description: Bold, vintage-distressed cartoon illustration of an astonished chameleon backing away from its own detached wind-up chattering chatterbox tongue, paired with the savage burn: "You're So Fake, If You Chopped Off Your Tongue, It'd Lie There And Chatter!" The ultimate sarcastic gift for calling out drama, gossipers, and phonies.
Description: The protagonist experiences dreams in which this woman and the Sheep Man—a strange individual dressed in an old sheep skin—appear to him and lead him to uncover two mysteries. The first is metaphysical in nature—how to survive the unsurvivable. The second is the murder of a call girl in which an old school friend of the protagonist, now a famous film actor, is involved circumstantially. Along the way, the protagonist meets a clairvoyant and troubled thirteen-year-old girl, her equally troubled parents, a one-armed poet, and a sympathetic receptionist who shares some of his disturbingly real visions.
Description: Murakami has written some of the most weirdly amazingly wonderfully other worldy crazy novels and here's my favourites all stacked up including Norwegian Wood, After Dark, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Kafka on the Shore, A Wild Sheep Chase and 1Q84! Now you can always have your favourite Murakami books close by and be reminded to think what would Murakami do?!
