His behind-the-scenes look at many of the "stars" of that movement and their private motivations is eye-opening. Most highly recommended.
Now I'm reading I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. |
"Crazy For God" does sound interesting, WT! Given that I live on the border between "the pine curtain" (that's a Bernie reference) and Mardi Gras World (New Orleans), it may help me understand my neighbors (and some of my friends and relations).
Anyway, I am almost 30% through with
Warm Bodies, not bad for two weekdays for me because I have so little time to read during the week. I was up until 1 A.M. Wednesday night because I wanted to finish Shadow of Night and start
Warm Bodies. I'm still enjoying it. Such a different take on Zombies.
The library had several Murakami titles available on eAudio. I got
The Wind-up Bird Chronicle. I only got to listen to about 20 minutes of it as I spend the night at my cousin's on my "swing shift" night due to my terrible commute.
Kafka on the Shore, as I mentioned, did leave me scratching my head but I still appreciated the lovely writing so I'm up for more Murakami.
I am going to digress and just say how much I love my public library system. I (and other residents of my Parish) are so lucky. We're the wealthiest Parish bordering New Orleans and have a well-funded system with a great collection and many branches. They actually have more eBooks and eAudiobooks than the New Orleans Public Library has!
