Taking my time updating all this stuff so bear with me. What kind of books does Jeff like? Anything and everything by Haruki Murakami, he is by far, one of the most ingenious writers alive today, i.e. Kafka on the shore, Blind Willow Sleeping Woman, Dance Dance Dance, the list goes on and on. Why none of his work has been adapted for film i will never know...Suprisingly I was turned onto another great author, Mitch Albom(Five people you meet in heaven, Tuesdays with Morrie,For One More Day) by my mother, never thought we had similar taste, but....a bit scary how much i enjoy reading his work. Other authors i think are worth mentioning are: Sandra Cisneros(House on Mango St., My wicked wicked ways, etc.) Ayn Rand(Anthem, Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead)Another Murakami...Ryu Murakami(Coin Locker Babies, In the Miso Soup, The Mammoth Book of International Erotica,etc)something about japanese literature i suppose.
