It's awesome. ALSO, I feel like you would definitely like 1Q84 better than Norwegian Wood because it's much less about depression and there are only like 2 suicides, both of which happened before the story! Yay? (I realise you're not going to read it. But still, just had to defend it there!)<br /><br />@Red- Re: reading all day, see above!<br />Actually, I really can't read on planes! It's pretty weird. I literally have to watch the crappiest movie they have, and then all the tv shows and maybe a magazine. I probably just haven't been taking the right books with me, OR it's maybe some kind of 'I can't get distracted by a book otherwise I might miss it if the plane starts going down' or something. I dunno.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-57495661083418996982012-04-03T18:24:36.841+01:002012-04-03T18:24:36.841+01:00I'm with you, I can't finish books in a da...I'm with you, I can't finish books in a day.

Some are better than others, so I would want to choose which of his books to take with me into my cell, but he would be definitely an author to consider.Rikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870582608139596844noreply@blogger.com
