Recommendation: Wind/Pinball is a captivating coming-of-age journey that takes you back to the narrator's college days, filled with nostalgic musings, quirky friendships, and a search for an elusive pinball machine. Haruki Murakami's first two novels beautifully capture the essence of youthful yearning, with a touch of surrealism that keeps you engaged till the last page. If you enjoy immersive storytelling and unique character dynamics, this book is definitely worth a read.
