I remembered the other day a great book that read. I think it's gonna be the only 'science fiction' book that I will ever read. Not that Murakami is not SF for most parts, but we need to categorize things.
After the Roadside Picnic I tried Dune, the other 'SF classic', but it was nothing like this one.
Here's a taste and one of my favourite quotes:
"...The hypothesis of God,.., gives an incomparably absolute opportunity to understand everything and know absolutely nothing."
