I read Murakami's Colorless, I liked it more than I've liked anything of his in a while. If you used to like Murakami but got weary of his often used conciets, you might like it. I'm in seven volumes of a halfway decent fantasy series. It isn't amazing but I've invested enough that I feel like I need to find out how it ends. Maybe mk will come by and tell us all how dope Treasure Island was.
Treasure Island is dope indeed. I read it on the shore of Lake Superior, and it was exactly the read I needed this summer. Stevenson paints scenes and characters in melodic prose, and the story seems to unfurl on its own. The haphazardness of action and the sympathetic account of every archetypal character makes Treasure Island a stellar adventure novel. 5 stars.
