1Q84
Haruki Murakami
948 pages
An ode to George Orwell's "1984" told in alternating male and female voices relates the stories of Aomame, an assassin for a secret organization who discovers that she has been transported to an alternate reality, and Tengo, a mathematics lecturer and novice writer.
It's a captivating read that immerses you in a world that's both familiar and completely unique.
Despite its hefty 1400 pages, IQ84 is so engaging that it feels much shorter; it's a book you simply can't put down.
