The Will of the Empress - Tamora Pierce (she's one of my all time fave authors, I've read all her books - great for fantasy fans who appreciate strong, independent and well-rounded female protagonists!  )
Pardise Lost - John Milton (for school; actually really interesting) |

Palm-of-the-Hand Stories by Yasunari Kawabata. Just got the book today after waiting like two weeks. Love short stories.
A very good book. The best by Murakami.
I'm reading A Thousand Cranes by Kawabata
And I think his best book is The Wind Up Chronicles. Have you read it?
You should get a hold of the Palm-of-The-Hand Stories, if you can. You'll probably thoroughly enjoy it. It's very interesting.
I have not read the book, is it comparable to Norwegian Wood? Isn't The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle a bit of a surreal tale?

Technically i'm not *reading* any of these because I go the audiobook route, but dammit that should still count:
DresdenFiles: Cold Days by Jim Butcher
The Accidental Sorcerer by K.E. Mills
America A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction by Jon Stewart
and
Monster Hunter Vendetta by Larry Correia
my job allows me headphones(the primary benefit of working strange hours) so I go through audiobooks at a rate that nearly obscene

Besides reading crap for my study materials, I'm currently reading The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson & the Olympians) by Rick Riordan. It's honestly out of my comfort zone, which is why I chose it in the first place (to spice things up), but its pretty interesting. I'm avoiding watching the movie until I'm done with the book.
And yes, I know I'm late lol.

I picked up "Grave Expectations" from the library the other day, because it was listed next to the Dickens books. I think it's sort of in the vein of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies."

Touching the Fire, a modern Latino poetry collection. I was pleasantly surprised to see that one section contained the work of one of my favorite professors that I studied poetry under.
Haruki Murakami's Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. Crazy book that blows your mind. A friend suggested it since it seems to take one of my theories about a "mind" after death and just pops off its cranium (and yours). Just got it early this week and I'm already on the third read-through. I'll probably try to buy all of his books, although they are translations and not actually in Japanese, since I can't read that.
