Hang in there, everyone. It may be cold, it may be raining, there may even be more snow to come (though we certainly hope not), but spring is on the way. In the meantime, what you need is a few good reads to help pass the time. Crack open one of these gems, disappear into the pages, and before you know it, the trees will be in bloom.
Happy reading!

Harvard Square Book Circle
discusses
A Wild Sheep Chase
The Harvard Square Book Circle, our in-store book club, will discuss Haruki Murakami's first novel, A Wild Sheep Chase.
A marvelous hybrid of mythology and mystery, A Wild Sheep Chase is the extraordinary literary thriller that launched Haruki Murakami's international reputation.
It begins simply enough: A twenty-something advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend, and casually appropriates the image for an insurance company's advertisement. What he doesn't realize is that included in the pastoral scene is a mutant sheep with a star on its back, and in using this photo he has unwittingly captured the attention of a man in black who offers a menacing ultimatum: find the sheep or face dire consequences. Thus begins a surreal and elaborate quest that takes our hero from the urban haunts of Tokyo to the remote and snowy mountains of northern Japan, where he confronts not only the mythological sheep, but the confines of tradition and the demons deep within himself. Quirky and utterly captivating, A Wild Sheep Chase is Murakami at his astounding best.
Our Price: $12.40
List Price: $15.50
