I won't catch up entirely - but I recently finished a couple noteworthy titles:

The Flash of LIghtening Behind the Mountains: New Poems by Charles Bukowski - I've always been a bukowski fan, but when I picked up this "new" book, I was pleased to discover that while Bukowski was alive, he'd sit with his editor selecting his best poems - only to put them away to publish only after his death. Apparently, Bukowski was more prolific than imagined as there apparently is several books worth waiting to be published - and in many ways this really is some of his best stuff and perfect reading for riding the LA Metro.

Magical Thinking: True Stories by Agusten Burroughs - cool little twisted vingnets a la David Sedaris, only a bit darker and sometimes cring-inducing. also made for a quick fun read especially if you like this genre.

At the moment I took on another Murakami - this time Kafka on the Shore, which had me a bit suspicious to begin with, but now that I'm dealing with Picnic at Hanging Rock type experiences and a man who talks to cats, I am once again possessed.
