I'm nearly finished with this - really enjoying it so far ...

I've been putting off reading this, thinking it would get me all inspired to write ... which is not a good frame of mind to be in at bedtime. Having skimmed it, though, I think I can read it for enjoyment and give it a quick second pass, taking notes and inspiration, later, during daylight hours.

Well, that was one of my fastest reads in a while. It's nice to be able to sit and read for hours at a time. It's a luxury I hope to indulge in more often.

I enjoyed this book more as it went along. At the start, I didn't like Bernice, and I started longing for a book with likable characters. By the end, though, I liked nearly everybody.

I'm enjoying this immensely - I suspected I would.

I especially love the sabbatical year in Ibiza. A house filled with books, and an enormous garden, and no responsibilities - I would love that.

I couldn't finish this book because it was too exciting.

Lately, a lot of my reading has been bedtime reading, and I'm looking for pleasant, relaxing stories that will give me a few moments of pleasure before I turn out the light.

Accelerando is non-stop dazzling verbal and conceptual pyrotechnics. The protagonist lives amid a constant bombardment of incoming information ... and that was hardly relaxing bedtime reading.

I really enjoyed what I read, and I'm looking forward to picking it up again sometime and plowing through it at the quick pace it deserves.

I really enjoyed this book.

This was one of my lighter reading picks, something I could pick up for a few minutes before bed.

I really enjoyed Miss Pettygrew's episodes of feeling confident and capable. I also loved the period illustrations.

This was a very successful light reading pick - it was fun, suspenseful, and full of happy surprises.

I picked this up at the library on a whim; I'd been intrigued flipping through it at the bookstore.

It's the first book of Murakami's I've read; I have a copy of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, and I'm looking forward to reading that. But I came to this book with no knowledge of Murakami's themes or style.
