I just (finally) finished The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and I'm halfway through A Wild Sheep Chase.

I just finished Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman - a collection of short stories by Murakami. I started reading another collection of short stories put together by David Sedaris last night.

NA & SMcS,
Amy Sedaris' book "I Like You" is good, too. If you get a chance listen to the Audio book... it's hysterical.

I finished The Thief Taker by Janet Gleeson. Very interesting look into the lives of servants in Georgian London, with a nice mystery woven in.

I have started on Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell.

I made my first book purchase for myself in a long time. Douglas Hofstadter's I am a Strange Loop. I swear, the collection of symbols that, in aggregate, form the larger, highly complex, self-referential symbol referred to as "I" loves every word that man writes.

Meanwhile, he mentions Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology by Valentino Braitenberg. If I can find it without paying for it I think that's next on my list.

I'm reading an IEEE publication on Engineering Design Changes to Nuclear Generating Facilities.

I'm reading a sales catalog from Mack Engineering. I WILL have one of these spinny coasters in my backyard.

I haven't finished the reading that was previously waiting for me but I bought more books at the Huntington today.
