Why read it?
1 author picked Sputnik Sweetheart as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Sputnik Sweetheart was the first Murakami book I had ever read. The book had such an impact on me that I almost immediately went out and purchased his other titles.

From Angel's list on books that depict the existential pains of human existance.
