Windup Bird Chronicles [book]

IN THE END A MAJORITY OF THE STORIES CONNECT UP IN SOME WAY, BUT WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS BOOK IS HOW STRONGLY IT REFUSED TO HAVE A PLOT. IT HAD EXTREMELY STRONG THEMES AND REPEATED MOTIFS AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN EVENTS BUT EVERY TIME YOU STARTED TO GET THE FEELING A SERIES OF EVENTS WAS GOING TO BE "WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT" THE BOOK WOULD ABRUPTLY END THAT PLOTLINE AND GO DO SOMETHING ELSE. I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IN THE ENTIRE BOOK WAS MAY SAYING THAT IF YOU PUT RICE PUDDING IN THE MICROWAVE AND OUT CAME MACARONI THAT SOME 'TREE FROGS' WOULD STILL STRUGGLE TO MAKE SENSE OF IT AS A CONTINUOUS SERIES OF EVENTS. EVERYTHING CLEARLY CONNECTED TO MAKE THE ENDING, BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY STARTED TO GO INTO DETAIL ON HOW A MAJORITY IS DIFFICULT TO DEFINE.

PS. COMING OUT IN 1997 AND WRITING COMPUTERS IN SOME CRAZY WAY THAT ISN'T HOW COMPUTERS WORK.
