I actually only have three to do for the rest of the year...but I hate deadlines!

I haven't read Murakami yet, but I know I must.<br /><br />Enjoy your new plan to stop touring and attack the TBRs.

I so wish I...I had not noticed your grouchiness :)<br /><br />I so wish I knew enough to have an opinion about the Nobel Prize. I look at this list of authors, all whom I want to read that I have not gotten to yet. So much to read and so little time. In particular, I want to get to 1Q84 soon!Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
