The Joys of Reading

Well, last night a friend came over and gave me more books as a belated birthday present. So, I actually own my own copy of "Kafka on the Shore". Yay! And she's read it too, so I finally got to discuss that book with someone. We actually came up with a lot of theories and conclusions of what we think happened. So, that was really cool. Made me realize why it's my favorite Murakami book. Just so much involved without being too convoluded. And you get to come up with your own theories of what you think may have been going on. It helps that I've read all the rest of his books too, because I really kept going back to "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World". There seem to be a few common elements with the two. I like that.

Anyways, I was having a really hard time getting into "Cold Mountain", so I've decided to read the other book I received last night...drum role please..."Ring". It's that thriller/horror story. This is the book that the Japanese and American movies, "The Ring" is based on. So, I'm trying to prepare myself to be scared and jumpy!

It's going to be creepy. More to come.
