Last book I read was After Dark by Haruki Murakami. What should I read next by him? Preferably something that is as good as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle or better.

I've just started in Handling The Undead by John Ajvide Lindqvist. So far it's alright but nowhere near as entertaining as Let the Right One In (that book is much better than the movie... and I really liked the movie).

I've read close to everything by him and I'd suggest either The Sheep Hunt or Norwegian Wood, if you liked After Dark. Especially Sheep Hunt might be up your alley.

Yes. If you're interested I recommend you read Street's Barack Obama and the Future of American Politics first. Both give a really detailed analysis of Obama's conservative political views and how he very cleverly branded himself as a progressive to appeal to liberal voters.

The second book is a bit of an "I told you so". It covers the first year or so of Obama in power and how he has just continued and even intensified a lot (most?) of Bush's policies.

Street has been described as the new Chomsky and he certainly has Chomsky eye for detail and analysis.

Thanks. I liked After Dark, but I loved The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.
I'll hunt down that sheep first.

Thanks. The first one especially sounds like just the sort of thing I'm in the mood for. Cheers

I've got this one a while ago but haven't had the chance to read it yet. Looking forward to quite much though.

my favorite book.

Love every damn confusing second of it!....well not so much confusing but rather vague. still super awesome. and trust me. The end alone will make it worth all the pain in the world.

Currently reading Filip & Fredrik (two swedish tv-hosts) childhood-biography about the 80's-90's called "Två nötkräm och en moviebox", really enjoyable!
