Speaking of reading I gave two massive books to my uncle at christmas because I knew I wouldn't have time to read them due to exams/ assignments.
But with my last exam on Wed I must remember to pick them up 1Q84 by Murukami.
I started reading some of his books about 2-3 years ago and they are really good (although they do tend to become incoherent near the end in many cases).
He is somewhere between Hemmingway, Bret Eastern Ellis and Donna Tart.
He kind of has a descriptive style reminiscent of rules of attraction, with the mystic of the Secret History and narrative which just feels like Fiesta the Sun also Rises.
His stories really tend to pull you in and are very quirky.
Aside from my favourite fiction writers I have read an inordinate amount of Sci-Fi and fantasy since I was small, my dad was an absolute Heinlein Nerd literally all his books strewn around the host as well as some Asimov.
The number of the beast, the moon is a harsh mistress and the cat who walked through walls being three of my absolute favourite Heinlein also as authors go I find he is surprisingly easy to read and I can quite effortlessly sit down with a Heinlein and finish it in one sitting without realizing time is passing.
But yes unfortunately most of my reading this year has been of Law reform commission reports or Judgements so roll on the summer so I can no life 1Q84 and a few other books.
