I think it was a good idea to read Murakami chronologically. I think this story didn't have me scratching my head as much as his later, more famous works. The narrator is sent on a "wild sheep chase" as a powerful organization demands he find the one special sheep in a picture of a pasture he just happened to use in an ad he created at work. However, the story had the power to draw me in; I read the first half in one evening.
