Hope you love reading about hair and what color peoples clothes are.Been trying to convince myself to start the Wheel of Time series. Got the demo on my Kindle, and found it a lil hard to get hooked. I assume it picks up a lil ways into the book? Its been a few months since I read demo, but I remember something about a man waking up surrounded by bodies, and learning he killed them all?
How is Kafka on the Shore? I've only read 1Q84 of Murakami's which, at best, I'd say I have mixed feelings about. Everyone says Kafka on the Shore is excellent so I'm wondering if I should give that a shot.
I was going to buy The Heroin Diaries (Nikki Sixx bio) not long ago but didn't get around to it.Been on a Biography tear recently, found 'The Dirt' (Motley Crue bio) in a used bin for $2, fast read. Disappointed it wasn't more 'graphic', some of the legendary stories of their debauchery are noticeably absent. Hammer of the Gods (Led Zep) and No One Here Gets Out Alive (Doors / Morrison) were much better reads.
Murakami's Norwegian Wood is really good, as well. I'd also recommend that after or before Kafka on the Shore.How is Kafka on the Shore?

The last surviving victim of an experiment that implanted the subjects' heads with electrodes that decipher coded messages is the unnamed narrator of this excellent book by Murakami, one of Japan's best-selling novelists and winner of the prestigious Tanizaki prize. Half the chapters are set in Tokyo, where the narrator negotiates underground worlds populated by INKlings, dodges opponents of both sides of a raging high-tech infowar, and engages in an affair with a beautiful librarian with a gargantuan appetite. In alternating chapters he tries to reunite with his mind and his shadow, from which he has been severed by the grim, dark "replacement" consciousness implanted in him by a dotty neurophysiologist. Both worlds share the unearthly theme of unicorn skulls that moan and glow.
