I would recommend his non-fiction book about the Tokyo subway gas attacks of 1995, it's far from a cold journalistic account of events, trust me

I just finished the Portrait of Dorian Gray, love Oscar.

I am well into this now. Autobiography of legendary winger Stanley Matthews. Golden age of football, when men were real men who lived in terraced houses and chewed on boot leather and didn't break into giggle fits if you used words like 'community spirit', etc. F*cking brilliant

I just finished "Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbangers History of Heavy Metal" by Ian Christe and picked up "Let the Right One In" by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I've already seen the movie and now I want to see what the differences between the book and movie are.

Underground (stories) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I did see that he had a nonfiction book, I will definitely be checking it out.
I recently read Kafka On The Shore and really enjoyed it, one of his better novels from what I've gathered.

great book. i like a lot of his stuff. you should read hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world, its very surreal.

recently finished reading a book of short stories by guy vanderhaeghe called man descending, was pretty good.

been reading beyond good & evil by nietzsche on and off; reading trainspotting by irvine welsh now. all the first-person writing is written is scots, its not difficult to understand, it makes reading it pretty engaging.
