Just finished 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Weird, cool, well written. I really like how the story starts off with some very subtle, minor weirdness, then gradually (and sometimes very sharply) becomes more and more bizarre. After book three there are still some loose ends that I'm curious about, but in a way it fits with the story that some mysteries remain.
Inbetween I read Seanan McGuire's "Velveteen vs." stories (free on her livejournal). Really funny, in between the really tragic parts. Superhero stories, where we realize pretty soon that the really evil bad guys aren't supervillains, but the marketing department of Super Patriots Inc.
Not sure what I'll start on now.
