Anybody ever read this book?

Some folks at work were talking about the author. I looked him up and was pretty surprised to see he wrote a book whose plot, "...centers on the narrator's brief but intense obsession with pinball, his life as a freelance translator, and his later efforts to reunite with the old pinball machine that he used to play."

This is a enjoyable read. Murakami is great author.

Eric Merchant told me about this book years back. It's hard to find a copy since it's not published anymore.

I'll put the word out to my bros at powells. If one comes up, maybe one of them can snag it.

"very, very rare," says my bro.

Whoa, awesome. Thanks for the post, Rob!

Piratemike, that story sounds insane. Can't imagine doing a service call in an alternate universe. What do you do if you have to go back for parts?
