"Bad Prince Charlie" by John Moore

then i'll read "A Fate Worse Than Dragons" also by him... but i should probably read Albert Camus' "The Stranger"

the thing is Moore is really easy to read and it's a great fun and it makes you forget about oyour problems, because it's so... fairytaily, but then again it'S a great parody etc.

You should, it's not long, decent enough and you will probably relate.

i was recommended to read it because it'S short, fun and also a good philosophical book i'll do it as soon i get the book somewhere to borrow

I can't read multiple books, you crazy! I'm trying to read Bukowski's Tales of Ordinary Madness, however, the depressing stories weren't good for my depressed mind, but I should be fine now. It's hard for me to set apart time to read....but I love doing it.

It's an archetypical Murakami. If you liked Hard-boiled Wonderland you're going to love this. It's very much in the same groove but a lot more refined. Just fun to read. I do miss the cooking that always seems to occur in his other books. Then again I'm only a third in.

I have not read anything by him but I will check it out as soon as I am done with jitterbug and the moral animal.
As with all of Crowley's other books I don't think I will ever be "done" with Magick without Tears.
As far as reading multiple books I switch depending on mood jitterbug perfume is my fluff book the moral animal science/philosophy and Magick without tears is in the never ending magick/philosophy/religion category.

This, and always always reading A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada...

I just finished "Rat Girl" by Kristin Hersh, and "Aching to Be" by Joyce Raskin. I have a bit of a rock & roll reading problem.

I read the shampoo bottle when I take a shower. Sometimes if I get bored, I read the can of shaving cream.

Seems this Murakami chap is quite popular. What would be a good book to start with?

[unownunown]

kafka on the shore was the first book of his i read.

i'd say that one or the wind up bird chronicle. they're a bit on the longer side, but so worth it.
