Posted by arren18 on 03.17.2020, 08:13 PM: I should really be posting in this thread more often. Recently I read Kitchen by Yoshimoto Banana in about two weeks (because it's pretty short and I didn't have much to do at work) and now I'm close to finishing the first Bakemonogatari. I've read a couple of other books in the series already.

Posted by husky51 on 06.07.2020, 06:51 PM: One of my favorite authors, Louis L'Amour, died in 1988 at the age of 80... He wrote well over 100 novels and more short stories than I can count... He left many, many stories started, but not finished in many cases. His son, Beau, has collected these partial stories and in some cases tried to fill out the tales as he felt that his father might have intended... Beau has had published a number of these collections, one of which I finished the other day "Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures #2"

Posted by Kazegami on 10.21.2020, 08:21 PM: I started reading Konbini Ningen (Convenience Store Woman) today. I'm a little embarrassed to have got to this point and not actually read a Japanese novel, so here I go. It's been pretty smooth reading so far. I remember how much effort it used to be to read material like this, so... it's giving me a nice sense of how much I've improved. I'm intrigued by the story itself, too, the main character is interesting. It doesn't seem to be a very long book, so hopefully I'll finish within a couple of weeks.

Posted by Kazegami on 10.23.2020, 09:13 AM: Sayaka Murata. It won the Akutagawa Prize in 2016. It's been on my radar for a while.
