Never Let Me Go by Murakami is a very amazing and simple book, same goes for Woman in the Dunes, whose author I forget. Woman in the Dunes is kind of a crazy dystopian book like 1984 or Lord of the Flies in that it's all about "what is humanity?" but it all takes place inside a giant sand pit.


Slightly off topic but relevant, did anyone else besides me HATE Catcher in the Rye? I wanted Holden Caulfield to just freeze to death and stop complaining about how much life sucked. 300 something pages of angsty whining is not my kind of reading.
