Summer Hiatus
We've decided to take a break from the book club. With everyone's active and conflicting schedules, its a challenge arranging to meet during the summer months.The upside is: this will provide us all a chance to read books we have wanted to read individually. For me, my summer reading schedule is going to be:
* Slow Man by J.M. Coetzee* Lolita by Nabakov : currently 1/2 through, but had to postpone reading this one for Shadow of the Wind
* Norwegian Wood by Murakami: this one has been recommended to me by several people, and I'm intrigued.
I'm not 100% decided on Norwegian Wood, but I'll definitely keep everyone posted. As soon as I'm done with Slow Man, I'll post my comments. So far I love it. I've been pleasantly surprised at how different this story is from Disgrace and I'm continually impressed by Coetzee's subtle observations and his consistent ability to incorporate broad themes into his specific stories.

Norwegian Wood is so good, though I prefer A Wild Sheep Chase.
