Finished the Great Flood and Comet in Moominland. I ideally want to read through all the Moomin books in order.

Franz Kafka - The Trial ![[image loading]](http://2012thetrial.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/5a1.jpg) Haruki Murakami - Kafka on the Shore ![[image loading]](http://poetry.arizona.edu/sites/poetry.arizona.edu/files/images/events/2012/November/Kafka%20on%20the%20Shore.jpg?1352851456) Currently working my way through: Anthony Burgess - A Clockwork Orange ![[image loading]](http://urchinmovement.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/clockwork-orange-penguin-modern-classics.jpg) Out of these three books i liked Murakami the most. There is just something about his writing that i can't get enough of. For future reading i'm considering something of Kobo Abe. Can someone recommend or comment on any of his works? | ||

I have moved on to No Country For Old Men by McCarthy. I am about 2/3 done now and it is fantastic. | ||

Also, I finally read The Catcher in The Rye by J.D. Sallinger. Liked it quite bit, wish I read it during my teen years. Now I'm halfway through For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway. It's amazing, but it's Hemingway so I already expected it. | ||

Just finished For Whom the Bell Tolls. I'd only ever read Hemingway short stories before, but I though it was really amazing and I'm so glad that I read it. | ||
