This book I will definitely read, don't know nearly enough about British history, gave the subject up at school at around 1300...and I don't mean lunchtime before anyone comes over all smart alec.
Agree totally, I read Norwegian Wood and found it to be excellent...will definitely read more of his books, it certainly whetted my appetite to read more about Japan.
Recently started Memoirs of a Geisha...wanted to read another book about Japan after enjoying one earlier this year by Haruki Murukami, picked it up on a bookstall for 50p, seemed like a bargain at the time and so far is proving to be.
Not really reading anything at the moment, but keep dipping into a couple of gardening books and the Rough Guide to India....so bollocks to tickets for the third round of the cup, you can haggle over tickets to watch the Albion play Darlington, I am off to Darjeeling!
