After Dark by Haruki Murakami

If you have ever read any Murakami books (The Wind Up Bird Chronicle, Kafka on the Shore, etc) you will love this. It is a voyeuristic tale which happens during the night. Different glimpses into the lives of a few characters that keep you guessing as to what is going to happen next or if or how it will all tie together. Murakami writes a about very surrealistic societies and this novel is no different. A great reason to read this would be to see what happens to Mari, who hangs out in a “Denny’s” drinking coffee and reading all night as various people drop into her booth and involve her in all sorts of activities.
