  1. Finally got around to reading an Umberto Eco book, "Numero Zero". I was worried when I read it was his weakest novel, but it made for a nice afternoon read the other day. Just picked up "The Name of the Rose" and have begun to dig in.

  2. Been digging into Murakami's 1Q84 lately- a bit slow to start but it's weirdly infectious after a while... I'd recommend for a slow burn.

     

    Mild spoilers. Murakami is hit or miss for me. I had trouble finishing the book, I felt the character development was handled very poorly. If a story has no development it can be frustrating, but his handling of Aomame was just strange. The strong person in the first two books just sort of vanishes and it becomes all about Tengo. I wouldn't put it past myself to have missed something, though.

  3. Finally gotten around to reading a book by Italo Calvino (If on a Winter's Night a Traveler). I'm enjoying it but I feel like I probably could have picked a better book to start with
