    Kafka on the Shore follows the fortunes of two remarkable characters. Kafka Tamura runs away from home at 15, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The aging Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down.

    Don Quixote, the world's first novel and by far the best-known book in Spanish literature, was originally intended by Cervantes as a satire on traditional popular ballads, yet he also parodied the romances of chivalry. By happy coincidence he produced one of the most entertaining adventure stories of all time and, in Don Quixote and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, two of the greatest characters in fiction.

    Story

    I have to admit this is my third attempt to read this book. Unfortunately, it was as unsuccessful as before. I could not get through it! I tried really hard but stopped after 3 hours of boring and monotonous reading. I would not recommend to spend you time and money on it.

The ship sinks, and 16-year-old Pi finds himself alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a zebra with a broken leg, and a 450-pound Bengal tiger.

    Story

    This is a very interesting and, kind of, unusual book. It kept my attention all the way to the end and I found it very hard to pause listening to this story. Somehow it reminded me of London's "Love of Life", though taking place in a different setting. Definitely it deserves five stars.
