What will I read next?! thread

Name: Anonymous 2005-03-24 1:49

I am very indecisive when trying to figure out what I will read next.
I am approaching the end of Yukio Mishima's Thirst For Love and will soon need to decide what I will read next.
Maybe the internet can help me decide!

I have many many unread books but I think for now I have narrowed my choices down to:
Haruki Murakami's Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
Osamu Dazai's Setting Sun
J.-K. Huysmans' La-Bas
Kem Nunn's Tapping the Source
Banana Yoshimoto's Goodbye Tsugumi

Anyone else is welcome to come here to perhaps have others help their indecisiveness!

I wish I heard of any of those.

Hard-Boiled Wonderland is great.  I highly reccomend it.

I just finished Foucault's Pendulumn by Umberto Eco and recently started on William S. Burroughs' Cities of the Red Night.

I've been meaning to get around to reading my copies of Animal Farm and 1984.

Ive never heard of any of those authors you mentioned but ill be sure to check them out. Now that said, id tell you to go read Cryptonomicon. At over one thousand pages its a bit long but I managed to finish it off in a little over a week.

I think Thirst for Love is my least favorite book by Mishima. There are no likable characters, each one represents some modern perversion. In the Sound of Waves there were good characters you could identify with, and even the 'bad chracters' were obvious victims of Western deterioration, not particularly bad themselves.

You will read Starfish by Peter Watts next.  I command thee!

Read The Baroque Cycle, excellent books, but be prepared to spend a lot of time on them as they are quite huge

Don't change these.
