Finished reading Kafka on the Shore, by Maruki Murakami. The novel was given to me by a dear teacher of mine over a year ago, but regretfully I did not have a real opportunity to read it until just a few months ago. A truly remarkable - if not peculiar -book, Murakami’s attention to detail (especially food) was what I enjoyed the most.

Next up on my summer reading list:

• The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux 
• Eeeee Eee Eeee by Tao Lin 
• The Hobbit by Tolken 
• Only Revolutions by Mark Z. Danielewski 
• The Extra Man by Jonathan Ames (finally) 
• Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut (again)
