The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is a fantastic book, as are all of Murakami's that I've read. I think Norwegian Wood is my favourite, as it's the one I read first, but I think Wind Up Bird is his best book. I keep meaning to re-read it.

I finished The Pursuit of Italy over the weekend and really enjoyed the ending. I think when you know the last section of the book is going to cover the trials and tribulations of the colourful Mr. Berlusconi, you can't help but look forward to finishing it.

I've started reading The Affluent Society by John Kenneth Galbraith today. Partly because I'm obviously a pretentious jerk, partly because I was recommended it ages ago and have been meaning to read it for a while, and partly because I quite enjoyed The Great Crash when I read it a few years back.
