Weird and Engaging. I'm currently reading The Wind-up Bird Chronicle. It helps me unwind now that I am terribly busy with the remodeling of the new house. There is a whole subthread in the book about the wig business, toupee factories, thinning hairlines and a weird fascination with baldness. I don't recall ever reading a book that even mentioned this strange little universe I know so well for reasons that shall remain unstated.
