sociology of law sucks. interesting, but too much reading for the class.

bloom is a great literary critic of the 20/21st century. his opinion on genius is intriguing.

Haruki Murakami - The Windup Bird Chronicle

I finished this recently. Although I enjoyed it very much, I found parts of it to be incredibly lacking and I was pretty much really, really disappointed by the end of the book.....

[Chicken]

i think someone mentioned this book here before, but i'm reading the tipping point by malcolm gladwell. really really interesting stuff, especially since we talk about trends here all the time.

here's a link of his speech, if any of you are interested: http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail230.html

Cool. I hope I finish it before the new semester starts, when I can get back to serious reading.

I finished it in something like... 4 days? That's how engaging it was, haha. I just wish there was a sequel.

I just finished "Hard-Boiled Wonderland & The End of the World" and I really liked that one, too.

[american_hearts]

the wind-up bird was far too long, with far too much filler.

different translator on hard-boiled wonderland, am i correct? perhaps that's part of the reason i prefer it to wind-up bird. it also feels like a more cohesive story -- as cohesive a story as we can get out of murakami, anyway.

Thomas' Claculus: Early Transcendentals

Gotta teach myself since i went and registered for Calculus a couple classes ahead of where I am.

Yeah, different translator with a very different style. I liked both quite a bit, actually.

Wind-Up Bird did have too much filler, but I actually wish it were longer... or more detailed, at least. ARGH!

Might not be my case - I'm reading it in Russian. I prefer reading non-English written books in Russian. So far it's engaging, but I'm only 75 pages in (have no time to read these days).
