I'm reading another of Haruki Murakami's novels at the moment, I love his outlook on life and the way he writes.
Which author is doing it for you right now?
I love his outlook on life and the way he writes, too, and he has brilliant English translators, as well. His work isn't translated nearly as beautfully into French.
Which one are you reading now? I'd still be feasting on his writing, but I've run out of copies of his work. I haven't read all of them, but close to it, I think. I guess it's time to place an order with Amazon again...
Have you read "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running"? He talks about writing, how he became a writer, and how he writes almost as much as he talks about running.
I reread "Dance, Dance, Dance" a couple of weeks ago.
Did you know that a movie has been made of "Norwegian Wood"?
Funny you should mentioned that Gypsy, I'm a few chapters away from finishing the running book. I've read 3/4 of it in 2 sittings so far, will finish the rest this evening.
I didn't know about the movie, I might pass on that, I'm invariably disappointed with movies based on novels.
Most of my favourite authors are dead but of the living ones I love Dean Koonzt the best. I have not heard of Haruki Murakami so will have to check him out, which would you recommend to read first? Also I agree with Nicola about the movie versions of books, never as good.

I loved Kafka on the shore. It's a remarkable book.
Thank you Nicola, I'll check my local library for it.

Oscar Wilde...and recently, Christoper Moore; Lamb, the Gospel according to Biff, Christ's childhood pal, and You suck.
At the moment it's Daniel Silva & Janet Evanovich.
I will drop anything else I'm reading if I manage to get my hands on a book either of them have written that I haven't read yet
I tend toward heavier reading when I buy a book. Things like the poems of Emily Dickinson, Shakespeare's tragedies, and works in foreign languages. However, I like Adriana Trigianni both because she writes great romances and because she knows Appalachia and Tuscany.
I have worked in one place and traveled to the other a lot.

John Green. I think his books are meant to be for teens, but my little sister keeps lending them to me and I'm hooked! He's witty and gets to grips with important themes. I just enjoy him a lot.

Rainbow Rowell. She only has one adult contemporary novel, Attatchments, out right now. Landline will be out soon. But her young adult stuff isn't bad either. She's a fun author.

Right now, I truly like Patrick McManus and his Bo Tully Mysteries
