Japanese LIterature
I am almost finished with Plum Wine. Like Kafka on the Shore, it is set in Japan. They are both great fun; they make me want to visit Japan and/or have some Japanese friends.
I love the puzzles, the secrets, the riddles. I am normally a binge reader, but find myself taking these books just a chapter or two per sitting. Between chapters, I think about the characters and am excited to find out what happens next.

I want to read both of those books. Thanks for keeping things rolling, Annie.
I told Mickey about Plum Wine and he is going to check it out.
We need to get this book club FIRED UP AGAIN!
Here's an interesting program on NPR. Nancy Pearl is a librarian in Seattle and is all about the good books.

I hope Mickey likes Plum Wine. I finished it today, and was disappointed with the ho hum hmmm ending.
I want to read another Confederacy of Dunces, you know? A book that is funny and good the whole way through and has an ending that is like bing bang boom ahhh.
Thanks for the link. I am going to look into Girls and one that I think is called The Witch's Boy.
