Here I am

It's been a few weeks, thought I'd update on the last 2 books I read. I finished Kafka on the Shore which was just a wonderful book and then to round off my Murakami reading I just finished South of the Border, West of the Sun yesterday. The only Murakami book left to me is a non-fiction book and unless I'm really, really interested in the subject matter I probably won't be reading it anytime soon. That's it, he's just going to have to write some more books and get them translated into English faster!

Kafka on the Shore was one of my favorites. Wow. I really couldn't put the book down and finished it within a week of getting it. The story was wonderful. South of the Border, West of the Sun was interesting too, but I really do think that Kafka on the Shore has moved up on my list as one of the greats.

Now, I'm reading The Devil Wears Prada. I had a job about a year ago for only 4 months, but it seemed like much longer and I swear I worked for Satan himself. I was telling that to someone and the stories that go along why I think my boss really was Satan and she recommended this book to me. So far, the only boss I can really think of that I've despised. I've had horrible jobs before, but this one topped it all. I worked 10-12 hour days (no overtime pay) and got yelled at about 95% of the time. It's the only job where I've actually spit in my boss's coffee (hey, don't judge, you would've too!).

My birthday is this weekend. Not sure how I feel about that. Older, I suppose. Fun. But the festivities will be next weekend as I've decided to take a 29 hour excursion to San Francisco for the weekend.

Want some Grr fur? I've got tons to share!
