Haven't gotten around to it yet. Is there an official list for the club yet?

I'm following #hubskibookclub to watch for updates. I don't think anyone has decided on the next book, but we'll probably figure something out after we finish the first one.

I just read the first three chapters of Murakami's Kafka on the Shore yesterday while killing time at Barnes and Noble. I'm intrigued by it, and might suggest it (that is, unless everybody has already read it; I know it has been very popular for a almost a decade).

Kafka on the Shore is a fantastic book! I still prefer The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, though, perhaps because I read it first.

Have you ever read Coin Locker Babies? It's by Ryu Murakami, not Haruki Murakami, which I found out only after I bought the book. I think Haruki is the better writer, but Coin Locker Babies it still pretty good.

Another one for the list!

I would absolutely second that vote. I read it ages ago, but never had anyone to talk it over with. It's a novel that definitely needs some interpretation.
