Normally I don't read more than book at a time, but I realised that that often led to me losing focus on my book after half an hour and browsing the internet. So I'm branching out, and when I get tired of one I switch.
Now that I have a decent library available to me I can finally delve into Murakami. Descriptions of his work always appealed to me, and so far it's been effortlessly fun. Actually quite readable for something written in 1600, and the farce is hilarious in places. There are slower patches, the guy doesn't mind a tangent. Not sure how I feel about this one at the moment, interesting enough but not hugely compelling and the humour falls a bit flat at points. Still good enough to keep reading though.

You know what they say about judging books...

Lullaby surprised me at the end, it got just a little creepy though.
Now I'm reading Identical by Ellen Hopkins. I love her work, only novel of hers I haven't read before. So excited for Fallout the third book in the Crank series! My favorite book of Ellen's is Impulse, about 3 teenagers who all end up in the same mental institution for attempted suicide. Excerpt: Triad Three separate highways intersect at a place no reasonable person would ever want to go. Three lives that would have been cut short, if not for hasty interventions by loved ones. Or Fate. Three people, with nothing at all in common except age, proximity, and a wish to die. Three tapestries, tattered at the edges and come unwoven to reveal a single mutual thread.

you should never judge them by their cover, but the whole point in a cover is to depict what the book is about and give the potential reader an insight

currently i'm making a list of books to read for the summer, so along with what i'm posting now, any reccomendations would be great
Kurt Vonnegut-Slaughterhouse-Five only a few chapters in, as i just got it this afternoon, but some of the ideas really drew me in and so far i'm really liking it alot.
