Murakami is a good choice, but I wouldn't start with Wind up Bird. dnacdancedance or Hard Boiled Wonderland are better intro novels.

This one has quite a few Dylan references.

I'll admit that that's exactly the reason I picked it first to read. Don't judge me, bitch.

been reading song of ice and fire series, and half of man is woman

Read Lolita, Battle Royale, and a bunch of other stuff last month
What did you think of Lolita?

I liked it well enough. It was a great read. I read it in a day, as if that's hard to do.

I want more books written by commies.

I liked game of thrones a bit but around maybe page 60-70 I became addicted. Can't put the book down.

I bought A Game of Thrones for my mom, maybe I'll check it out someday when I have nothing else I want to read.

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is better.

well I can rule this out on the blatantly wrong title alone, as man is obviously 60% of woman

did you get the book i recommended, brandnew?

TVC15 · « **Reply #79 on:** January 25, 2009, 11:44:37 PM »

Dave Eggers used to put out good things in McSweeney's and The Believer, but his actual books are utter trash. And I only say "used to" because I haven't read either McSweeney's or The Believer in a while. He does get points for founding those, in my book.

Fuck! I completely forgot about that. I was just in the bookstore earlier today and say a cheap paperback for DADOES? and caved.

But that's pretty cheap too, maybe I'll just go ahead and buy that as well.
