Haruki Murakami

Looking at people's profiles lately, I see his books coming up pretty often in their favourite books. He's in mine, too. Discuss.

I just want to recommend a new canadian author, too. Lee Henderson, and his book The Broken Becord Technique. It's a collection of his first short stories, published by Penguin in Canada. Lee is one of the coolest people I have ever met. Lee's homepage

Mmm, Murakami. Did you see his recent short story in the New Yorker? A friend who works in publishing has a galley of his new collection of short stories. Looks hella rad.

Hella? Were you originally a silicon valley native?
