Yeah Bossypants was really funny. I think I read it in a day and laughed out loud multiple times."We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -

Tibet, Tibet - Patrick French
'Tibet has long fascinated the West, but what really lies beyond our romantic image of a mystical mountain kingdom of peace and spirituality? Patrick French set out to discover the truth, and his extraordinary account has been widely acclaimed.
Travelling through the country, French meets exiled monks, nomads and a nun secretly fighting Chinese rule, but also young Tibetans with a more pragmatic attitude to their situation. Interweaving these encounters with little-known stories of war and turmoil from Tibet's past, he reveals a more nuanced, fascinating and surprising picture of this complex place than any other book has done.'0 -

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
About halfway through (of a long 925pp) and getting the feeling that I may be in for a letdown. :?“I worked really hard on this set. I just told you we’re gonna have a great night, so I don’t need any fuckin’ help from anybody.” EV, 7/2/090 -

Although there are some enjoyable parts to be found, I find that some ideas are way out there, even for Murakami. Definitely not one of his best or even better writings. For that, I suggest The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle..."...bring it back someway bring it back, back, back... to the clean form, to the pure form..."
