I finished Kafka on the Shore yesterday. Very good, but not as good as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle or Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. Mr. Nakata is probably my favorite Murakami character so far, though. I'm not sure which of his books to read next.
I just started on The Crossing. I'm liking it more than All the Pretty Horses already, which is good since I loved the latter.
I also just received a collection that has all of the short stories of Franz Kafka. I've always liked what I've read of his, but I never got around to reading everything else he's done. I'm looking forward to it.
I am seriously tempted to order that Living Dead short story collection...

Reading through the new short story in Side Jobs. It provides an interesting perspective on Dresden, but it's little more than a pleasant diversion from my half-completed passage through Never Let Me Go at this stage. And that would also be a pleasant diversion - from exam revision. Good times.

Surprisingly good so far. I wasn't expecting much in a first novel from an internet personality but I've enjoyed the first half.

Finished A Shadow in Summer a few days ago. Took a good while to grow on me, the thing with the poses still seems really weird. Started this yesterday:
I loved the first three books, hope the next books are just as good. I currently have The Books of the South, The Many Deaths of the Black Company and The Return of the Black Company at home, how are the books that don't deal with the Black Company?

Didn't have much time to read lately so I started with something not too heavy. I am a big Castle fan - so I bought myself "Heat Wave" by Richard Castle. So far it is really enjoyable and quite close to the TV show.

Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogydangrib said:
Got interested in what inspired Max Brooks to write WWZ. I teared up quite a bit at this book - the sheer scale of WWII is fucking unimaginable to me, and the stuff with the Nagasaki/Hiroshima survivors... The cultural differences threw me for quite a loop, too, especially with the casual racism of the day. Highly recommended.

reading a book called 'the historian'
it has vampires.... kind of it's really slow moving and about historians tracking down vampires, specifically dracula. but there isn't really any vampires yet.
Not sure if I like. Joe abercrombie has a new book. going to read that next.
