    I've only read the excerpt on the Stones Throw site. I'll probably go buy the issue this weekend.

    I am still trying to finish Cormac McCarthy's The Road

     

    I let a friend borrow my copy and he took forever to finish it, saying it was too depressing to read at times. But that book has nothing on Blood Meridian, that's probably one of the most nihilistic books I've ever read.

    when i was very young my family had a black lab. nicest dog, very smart and very loving. put up with me pulling on his tail and shit, never barked. ended up getting cancer of the something as many purebreds do.

     

    The same thing happened to a dog I had for a good part of my childhood. I was away at college and got a call from my dad that my dog had gotten really skinny and weak and they found out he had cancer and had to put to sleep. Never got to even hold his paw when they put him down or say goodbye.

    Anyone heard about this?

    Rinko Kikuchi To Star in Movie Adaptation of Murakami's 'Norwegian Wood'

    I haven't read this book yet but I like Kikuchi and it's being directed by Tran Anh Hung, who did a beautiful movie called Cyclo.

     

    weird, murakami has always battled the idea of turning that book into a movie. anyway it's probably his most melodramatic and ridiculous novel, i'm not too sure how well it would work as a film. i guess if it's toned down it might work. i'd rather see hard boiled wonderland or windup bird turned into a movie, honestly.

     

    I'm almost done with Wind-Up and thought it would make a great movie about halfway through but I'm not sure now. So much of the novel speaks to things that would be incredibly hard to suggest in film.

     

    :queues up Cyclo on netflix to prepare:

     

    I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.
