Loved Norwegian Wood, after all these years I think it's still my favourite Murakami.

Any good? I really liked The Sheltering Sky, but haven't read anything else by him.

Just started it. I'm only 20 or so pages in (too many distractions this weekend). Its basically a book of travel writing. If you want to read something else by Bowles I'd recommend the Ecco edition of 'The Stories of Paul Bowles'.

I really enjoyed 'Dance, Dance, Dance' but reckon 'Kafka on the Shore' would be a close second.
I got a copy of his first book 'Pinball' from a mate in a word doc format but haven't had a chance to print if off as yet. As far as I know he's not a big fan of it and doesn't want it published at all.

Just finished Ghostwritten, Reading Making Money by Pratchett.

theCzar

that didn't take long. Making Money was pretty mediocre. Moist Von Lipwig is a good character, but rest of the cast wasn't up to it in this one.

Reading Fahrenheit 451, now. This won't take long either

skeleton crew - Stephen King

"Power and Prosperity" - Mancur Olson

Finished "The Logic of Life" by Tim Harford last week, a very enjoyable read if you're into that kind of thing (ie you enjoyed "The Undercover Economist").

So am I. Read Going Postal last week and finished it in about 3 days. Making Money is going a lot slower, and just doesn't have the same punch to it.

Great choice! I love that book!:cool:

EVENTUALLY finished "The Man That Mistook His Wife For A Hat" by Oliver Sacks. Took a while to get through, although I was only reading it during my lunch break and it does lend itself to that type or reading as it's a collection of stories rather than a novel. Fascinating read nonetheless.

Started "Vernon God Little" by DBC Pierre today.

Just doing star-jumps here in preparation for getting into Stephen Pinker's "How the Brain Works".

'The Place Of Dead Roads' - William S. Burroughs.

Silent Partner

At the moment I am reading "Made in America" by Bill Bryson. It's excellent and is full of useful/useless information (depending on your point of view).

Before that I read Slash's autobiography. I like biographies normally but this was more just a list of here's what I drank/snorted/injected/screwed. I don't doubt the guy is genuine but it was more a list of old war stories than anything else. Due to on going legal battles, he couldn't talk about the real reason I wanted to read this, i.e. his long standing feud with Axl Rose.

'The Invention of Solitude' by Paul Auster.

Love that book. Hope you enjoy it.

I bought a lot of books recently, photography & photoshop, webdesign books.. all of which I'm reading bits of.

Picked up lots of random books in Chapters and also on L. Camden Street, there are lots of charity shops there that I'm usually lucky to find something of interest!

Charity shop book browsing is becoming one of my hobbies!

To give an example: "1000 Great Lives" Men and women who shaped the modern world, it's like a dictionary with a paragraph each on people like Confucius, Karl Marx, Socrates, Marx brothers, Mao Tse-Tung etc.

I'm just starting a book called "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle... Hopefully it will help me to stop saying "I'll quit cigarettes tomorrow" and give me the positivity to just quit. :rolleyes:

Bill Bryson's Notes From a Big Country.

Modern day, less serious but just as inciteful as "Letters from America" by Alistair Cook
