I've been working my way through all of Haruki Murakami's books. I just can't get enough of him, I consider him a kindred spirit, and every book he writes he gets that much better.
PS. bikes.
I read a book called 'the race' which is about an american guy in the tour de france written by a first time author. Its not very refined, but it was a fun read. If anyone wants to borrow it let me know.
