I finished The Thief, which is a Japanese novel by Fuminori Nakamura. It was a short read, and I rated it three stars. It was interesting reading a crime novel from a Japanese perspective.
It was a different kind of book that seemed to have some philosophical stuff in it regarding a mysterious tower that two of the characters saw/experienced in different ways. All of that was layered over the story of a Robin-Hood-like pickpocket who got caught up with a hardcore gangster.
Next up is the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.
