I know we've had this thread before but as I'm drawing to the end of my current book, I'm wondering, what are you all reading?
I'm just about done with "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" by Haruki Murakami. I enjoyed it much, very very strange and out there.
Anyway, what book should I read next? The three I'm choosing between are:
"The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
"Castch22" by Joseph Hellar
"A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess
A bunch of technical books that analyze the principles and purpose of architecture. Right now I'm reading a massive book on Richard Meier and another one about The Houses of Sagaponac.
from your list definatly Catch 22
I'd suggest "Just Another Empire", which can be bought here:

Do you read a lot of Lovecraft? I used to read some but his stories kept going back and forth between being these amazing world creations to some of the most boring stuff I've ever read (I don't know how I made it through "At the Mountain of Madness" or whatever the correct title is), that said, do you have any suggestions?Quote:
