Patrick 'Picard' Stewart was in the audience (I had a good view of the crowd), I wanted to shout out "Hey Picard! Dude! Make it so!", but I didn't. I kond of regret it now.

Anyway, bearing in mind Chronicle is my favourite, is Wonderland a good next move?
Also can anyone who's read the first two novels tell me more about the girl who dies at the beginning of Wild Sheep Chase?

definitely, if you like the more surreal side (i do, and its my favourite).i read 'hear the wind sing' yesterday, its very short but a nice preamble to the wild sheep chase/dance dance dance books. he mentions 3 girls in it, one of who may be the girl at the start of AWS, i'll have to reread the start of that to remind myself.

That's what I think about Philp K. Dick.
I think the "Sputnik Sweetheart" is the most non-Murakami Murakami book I've read, and it's rather good. Strange how nobody mentioned it.

I will retaliate in due course.
You keep your books in very good condition.
I wonder if I will stay up all night to read it, like Mooro did.
Please note: I will soon have read 3 Murakamis for the price of 1, thus beating the original Borders offer by 1 Murakami. If I take up Mooro on his offer of a loan, I will make it 4 for the price 1.
I've got to hand it to myself.

Archel didn't see it, everybody else.
She thought perhaps it had got lost.

I've got mixed feelings about 'Norwegian Wood' costing less than the postage Archel paid.
Jel, I've seen the film of 'Sound of the Mountain'! Corking proto-'Vera Drake' stuff.

This thread has put me off reading more of his stuff though, as I don't know if I could go through a similar experience again so soon.

I sorta begin to think I'll enjoy reading fiction again if/when I can get one of my own books published.
