Stopped by the library omw home and picked up a compilation of short stories by Kafka whom I haven't read since highschool, Portrait of and Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce, and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee which I've somehow never read.


I hope you enjoy To Kill A Mockingbird, I think it's great.

That is something I have thought about on more than one occasion. Please share your thoughts when you're done.



I don't read very often, but I've been going at this on and off for the past year.

Just finished with this. It was definitely a different kind of experience. I've read some people going on about how big of a mindf#$% it was for them, but I guess it's hard for me to be that surprised and confused by books after reading something like House of Leaves.

Now I'm working on this, in addition to a few other books.

!!!!!! Kafka on the Shore is like one of my top 5 books ever. There wasn't much confusing about it tho, especially compared to wind up bird or 1Q84

Zyrada 06-01-2014 12:25 PM

I have 1Q84 on my queue, actually. It looks like it's gonna be a real doozie, haha. But yeah, there's a lot in Kafka on the Shore that I feel is really heavily foreshadowed, if not explicitly stated. But I think that's part of why I liked it. Murakami made no qualms about the narrative devices he was using. I mean, he even talks about the Chekhov's gun concept directly in the book. The conservation of detail was very tight.

I would not recommend reading 1Q84 if you have any required reading to do. that **** put me in a book coma, I couldn't read anything because anything else was dwarfed by that book. just wow

I loved nakatas side story so much, murakamis love of cats gives me so much life
