Eat, Pray, Love

Gilbert, Elizabeth

Borrowed from Shetha
Finished 17 May

I wanted to dislike this book and its author, but it kept a humble, deprecating tone and led through enough real-life, low-level twists that I couldn't stop reading.

Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, The

Murakami, Haruki
Amazon link

Finished 27 April 2008

The dream quality and blurred boundaries are well done, but this wasn't at all what I thought it would be-- such an odd subject matter, and while I can handle that no questions are ever answered, there seem to be many threads that are merely dropped. Parts of it I read quite eagerly, and parts were painfully visceral, so overall I guess I enjoyed the read.
