I recently started reading Haruki Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart. So now I am reading that and also casually looking through/reading Louis Wain's Catland and A Catland Companion: Classic cats by Louis Wain & many others.
I have a huge stack of books that I need to read so I still have no clue what I will be reading next.

On Thursday I re-read Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger.
Now I've started The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories, and Other Stories, by Gene Wolfe. I finished the first tale (The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories) which is a work of heartbreaking genius and madness -- and reminded me, actually, of Salinger. Not in the writing style, but in the way it fucks with your expectations and is really about a thousand things which are never mentioned in the story. I also read Seven American Nights, which is awesome.
Why the fuck don't people know about this guy? This is a man who should be a national icon.
