How does it compares to the likes of Mishima or Haruki Murakami?

I haven't got round to reading any of Haruki Murakami's stuff yet, but the only way I can describe CLB as is; Deep, harrowing and real.

Sounds pretty much like HM, and that's great. What book do you recommend as a starting point?

The first one I read was In The Miso Soup, followed by Piercing. They're not as hard going as CLB, and shorter so definitely a good place to start.

Seems interesting. I liked Archangel and Fatherland by Harris as well so I decided to see how his more recent works compare.

Re-reading 'Killing Lincoln' by Bill O'Reilly, an excellent and very well researched account of Lincoln's assassination and the events surrounding it.

Already have his next book, 'Killing Kennedy,' on order. Comes out in October.

I'm liking it so far. It has a strange scale of time in some ways; it jumps forward two years in the space of a single page, for example, but it's still a really enjoyable story. This is my first experience with Stephen King, and with it being based around something so historically significant I suppose it can only be a good start. Since I saw the film Christine quite a few years ago I'd like to read the original book it was based on too. I'm fairly confident the next book I'm going to be reading is George Orwell's 1984. I haven't posted an update in this thread in over a month.

Been a while since I posted here. Read a lot of comic books and several novels. Off I go to read!
