Book of the month
Every month we pick a special book that is travelling through our community. Stories that inspire, connect and remind us why books deserve to keep travelling.
Tony Takitani by Haruki Murakami
4.7 (23) Fiction and literature
Toni Takitani is a young man who has grown up isolated, teased by his classmates and very much alone, since his father, a jazz trumpeter, is often away on tour. A skilled professional, he illustrates covers for car magazines and adverts. Until one day he meets a young woman, a part-time employee at a publishing house, who is especially fond of dresses.
Beautifully illustrated by Ignasi Frost, this story by the celebrated Japanese writer speaks of loneliness and the lack of affection in today’s society.

I hadn’t touched a book in years and now I can’t put one down. I swapped my first novel and ended up with a story that changed the way I see reading.
-
I don’t just find titles I was looking for: I find people who read them before me. That really changes how you choose the next one.
-
I came looking for an out-of-print book and stayed for the meetups. I’ve been to four and left every one with something I didn’t expect.
