Beautiful Ruins: A Novel by Jess Walter

Rechter Tie - Het rode paviljoen by Robert van Gulik. I absolutely love 狄仁傑 (Dí Rénjié) for the way he solves crimes.

"Portrait of an Englishman in His Chateau" by Andre Pieyre de Mandiargues. The plot resembles a surrealist version of the 120 Days of Sodom, but boiled down to approximately 150 pages, with the most important difference being that in this novel, the narrator is an actual character in the story visiting the chateau, giving it a bit of a cynical mondo vibe in a Faces of Death or Cannibal Holocaust type of sense.

Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky. The first chapter(70 pages of it) was hard to get through, but the book got a lot better after that. I'm currently about 3/4 of the way through with it.

The Square and the Tower: Networks and Power, from the Freemasons to Facebook
by Niall Ferguson

Quest of the Three Worlds by Paul Linebarger (Cordwainer Smith)

The Machine Crusade by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson

Finished "Hell House" by Richard Matheson.
Currently reading "Hero of the Imperium" by Sandy Mitchell

"El Coronel no tiene quién le escriba" or "No One Writes to the Coronel" from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, it's an enjoyable short novel that won't take you more than two hours to read.

Just finished
1Q84

Taught me that I quite like them long.

Just started
Kafka on the Shore

Isn't so long, but not holding that against it.

Even more surreal & confusing.

Next on ordering list,
If, on a Winter's night a traveller

I just love me some confusins.

The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin by Pushkin.

The first volume of the Bakemonogatari manga I got today from a Humble Bundle bundle of the franchise. So far, it looks like a decent adaptation of Nisiosin's excess of details from the light novel.

Sira by María Dueñas. An espionage story in the aftermath of World War II.

Fahrenheit 451
Finally read this classic, now I know why is an essential book for anyone who like reading. The dystopian setting feels so contemporary, real and even possible for a society that lives more and more faster every day. Love it so much.
