Bookcees revived

[trapezoidal]

I'm down for a book club. I'm in the middle of these books right now,

Think On These Things by Krishnamurti
Hard Boiled Wonderland And The End Of The World by Haruki Murakami
A Night In The Cemetary (And Other Stories Of Crime And Suspense) by Anton Chekhov

All three are excellent so far. I'm a huge Murakami fan and have most of his books and this one is a little weird and not like his usual though.

A lot of his books are steeped in fantasy, some more than others. But for the most part his books are very melancholy and the characters are always marred with some issue of loneliness or not being accepted.

If you want to continue the fantasy route I would go with Wind Up Bird Chronicle or A Wild Sheep Chase. After that, 1Q84 - which is over 1,100 pages long, so...have fun with that lol. It's great though. Once you read those three, the rest of his books are rather surreal.
