Coupland strikes again
Once more, Douglas Coupland has made me gobble up a book within 24 hours. His latest novel, ‘Hey Nostradamus!’ have just had this effect on me (I just finished it) as with almost all of his books (and I have them all). The only other author who has had this effect on me is Haruki Murakami, whose complete collection I’ve been very glad to read (And even wrote music for). And Iain Banks has come pretty close, since I read his ‘The Wasp Factory’ in close to 48 hours. If you haven’t ‘met’ any of these three writers, make sure you give at least one of them a try. I think you won’t regret it.

i’ve been planning to read murakami for a while now. I’ve been told that he’s a little random. is it true?

The new Coupland is extremely good! Highly recommendable! If you like his books, be sure to check it out!
Murakami, random? It depends on what you mean by that. I can recommend his ‘Norwegian Wood’ if you feel a bit in the romantic mood, or his ‘Wind-up Bird Chronicle’ if you’d like a very good, long read. I’ve read all of his books and frankly, I’ve never been disappointed.
