I'm definitely keen to read more of his work.

Now reading A Tale for the Time Being. I'm enjoying the diary parts set in Japan - I really like Naoko's voice. However, I'm less sold on the (author insert?) parts with "Ruth". Those drag and feel kind of whiny to me, so far.
You might be interested to know that the MobileRead Book Club selection for this month is Cannery Row. We'll start discussing it on Monday, the 20th.
