I've been reading a number of things as of late. Finally started in on
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by the man himself, Philip K. Dick. I'm about half-way through it and I'm enjoying it immensely. I'd recommend it to pretty much anyone, whether they're a fan of science fiction or not.
Been reading through the
Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny once again simply because it's one of my favorite series ever. Corwin and his boy are some of the best protagonists to ever grace paper.
I keep the
Tao Te Ching next to my bed for quick reading before I drift into dream land. I can't help but identify with some of the simple (yet at times surprisingly complex) verses found within it, and I find a bit of peace in the words when I've had a particularly stressful day. In a similar vein, I also have my much flipped through
Zen Mind Beginner's Mind by Suzuki laying near by.
Thats it for now, but with summer break coming up I'm sure I'll start flying through books of various kinds. I'll most likely try to broaden my classical horizon a bit in the warm months.

Glad to see Murakami has been getting some love around here as of late! I truly admire his works. Check out
The Wind Up Bird Chronicle if you haven't yet, Capo. It's a great work of fiction.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
