Good idea. Just don't forget that when you log on Saturday, you post accordingly in the "What Do You Do On Saturday?" thread.

also try 'geisha of gion' if you haven't already. it's written by a true geisha and will probably give you a better insight into the exclusive world of geisha than 'memoirs...' Mr Green

enjoy memoirs. Thumbsup

I've been reading The Elephant Vanishes, a collection of short stories by Murakami Haruki.

I read Kafka on the Shore before that, but i preferred Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World.

Kenjilina,

Have you read the Wind-Up Bird Chronicle?

Also, i've never read Choke, but i've read Haunted and Diary, which are both interesting. Very bleak though.

Diary has a really interesting style to it.

^^ I haven't read those. But Lullaby is one of my favorite books to date. Still a bit warped and morbid (It's about a couple of people trying to prevent the reading/listening to of an African Culling song used to kill people, that was haphazardly put into a book of nursery rhymes from around the world and sold in bookstores everywhere) but very good.

And I happened to start The Wind Up bird chronicle not too long ago.

You gotta love those buy 2 get 1 free sales at Borders hehe

Lullaby. I knew there was one book of his i'd forgotten to mention, and that's the one. Really enjoyable.

I like the kind of subtle weirdness Murakami puts in all his stories.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is cool. Interestingly enough, the first story in the Elephant Vanishes is pretty much the first chapter of the Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

Strangely enough, both the long and short versions work quite well by themselves.
