The Wind-up Bird Chronicle - Haruki Murakami

A strange book that you shouldn't want to bother reading, but somehow it keeps pulling you along.  A man's wife disappears and he thinks about how to find her again.  His mind and his life wander through a variety of strange ideas and situations -  mysterious houses, bottoms of wells, psychic women that come and go inexplicably, threatening men lurking in the background, bizarre locations.  In the end the story doesn't really resolve itself.
Somehow it is all woven together in a way that keeps you chasing after what will happen next.
