This will be the post where I update my book list in 2008.

1. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman (Haruki Murakami) 4/5
Haruki Murakami is probably one of very few authors who can write stories about loneliness that just strike the chord in me. This book is a collection of his short stories and some of it are simply DIVINE.

2. Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman) 5/5
Every texture of the London Below feels real, and almost every page has some bizarre occurance or some off kilter social commentary disguised as fantasy coming from all sides. He has more good ideas than any man should possibly have and these ideas and his brilliant descriptions are what carry the novel, for the most part, you can read the whole thing like a travelogue and just become immersed in this strange and amazing world. I didn't ever want this book to end.

3. Shopaholic and Baby (Sophie Kinsella) 2/5
Sadly to say that this will be my last book of the Shopaholic series (if Ms. Kinsella decides to continue). Thank God I decided to borrow instead of buy it. I don't really see any improvements in Becky, Luke, and other characters. They still act the same, using the same treats as the previous books, and it is getting tiresome. The only one i love to read here was danny (he's just so much fun!!!).
