A Wild Steeple Chase - Haruki Murakami - he's awesome and rate this up there on his list. His new book comes out later this fall, I believe.

Anyone have some good audiobook suggestions for the commute??

1. a wild sheep chase. not to be that guy, just sayin'.

2. if i recall, there was an audio book edition of consider the lobster by david foster wallace that he read himself that was supposed to be great. either way, those essays are worth a go.

i'm currently immersed in the giant that is infinite jest. recently finished the milwaukee braves: a baseball eulogy by bob buege - great for a milwaukee/baseball nut, not great if you tire of minutiae and using the word whitewash in reference to a good pitching performance.

Why the heck did I type Steeple?! Oh well, yes it is sheep but you are now that guy.

My girlfriend works in publishing, so sometimes I get to read some stuff that she thinks I will enjoy that her company distributes.

 

Currently, I'm reading "Walk Like A Man" by Robert Wiersema. It's pretty excellent, about one guy's connection to the work of Bruce Springsteen. I enjoy it quite a bit.

Reading a really cool book called The Hunting Shack. It's an old book, set in northern Wisconsin woods, near Hurley. It was the authors first book, and he's from Wisconsin and still lives here. Really good so far. It's a murder/thriller but not a mystery, because they don't hide who the killer is. If you like thrillers, check it out.

I saw your post a couple weeks ago. I was heading to my grandpa's shack in northern Wisconsin the following week so I thought it would be appropriate to read. I couldn't put it down and finished it up before I even got North (and considering it's a thriller, it's a good thing I finished it before I was up there). Fantastic read.

I am on book #3 of "A Song of Ice & Fire" series by George RR Martin.

 

The new HBO series Game of Thrones is based on these books.

 

Highly recommend the series and the books

I just finished A Feast for Crows, and now I am anxiously awaiting A Dance with Dragons to arrive at the library.

 

I also recommend Martin's graphic novels about Dunk & Egg.
