Mondo Bungle

what I've read in the last whatever

John Ajvide Lindqvist - Let the Right One In. Pretty cool, had some sweet things sprinkled within.
Carl Hiaasen - Bad Monkey. Meh.
Dean Koontz - Tick Tock. I'd be lying if I said there wasn't some cool parts but mostly it's pretty stupid especially at the very stupid end that was so stupid it made me mad for even reading this stupid book with the stupidest conclusion to anything ever.
Haruki Murakami - Kafka on the Shore. Spellbinding, started it like three times but actually finishing was a good move.
Haruki Murakami - Norwegian Wood. Good for what it was (non-fantastical love story) that was heartsy and stuff but not super mesmerizing and crazy.
Haruki Murakami - The Wind Up Bird Chronicle. Definitely tight and zany with weird events that seem to come into fruition without even being noticed, pretty engaging especially at the end, with some of the funniest things I've ever read.
Haruki Murakami - Dance Dance Dance. More comical but paradoxically less funny than Wind Up Bird but still solid, not super outstanding in the big scheme of things.
Haruki Murakami - Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage. Waste of language (reading so much of his stuff in a short time it really gets redundant but here it's just not even cool either and it made me downright mad. Good if you like loose ends and stuff you've heard before.)
H.P. Lovecraft - The Annotated H.P. Lovecraft. Eldritch.
Philip K Dick - Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. Classic.
Philip K Dick - Galactic Pot Healer. This is one of my favorites of his and of all time, so much creativity packed into so few pages. I like it cuz it's sci fi as **** and psychedelic and humbling and hilarious. Maybe more than Sheep.
David Mitchell - Slade House. Pretty cool but very let-me-spell-it-out-for-you. Goes by super quick and did intrigue me into reading his more ambitious works. Some good chills.
David Foster Wallace - Infinite Jest. Pretty much anything you could say about a book positive, negative, or neutral, could be said here. A veritable marathon that is relentless.
Salman Rushdie - The Satanic Verses. I liked it a lot, tough at times with all the Indian jargon and intentional grammatical inconsistency (weird style is presented), but quite rewarding and more enthralling when you get into the meat. Recommended if you like hallucinations and books that are good.

I used to love Koontz: The Face and Dark Rivers of the Heart are great books, as are Mister Murder, Cold Fire, Twilight Eyes, Hideaway and some others. But once he started concentrating on that little **** Odd Thomas I lost interest completely.
