Current and Recent Reading

	And Then, by Soseki Natsume Not a bad book, but not thrilling. I enjoyed reading it, and liked the language, but I didn't really feel anything for any of the characters.
	The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, by Murakami Haruki Weird book. I still don't know what I thought of it. I felt swept along through it and enjoyed reading it, but I'm not sure what I got out of it. Maybe I felt a bit abandoned at the end. I'd still say it's worth reading. I'm sure I'll read more by this guy.
	Catch 22, by Joseph Heller I just got done falling in love with this classic a second time. Check out this hilarious dialogue.
	The Japanese Mind, edited by Roger Davies and Osamu Ikeno This book is a bit simplistic, but it's a good thought starter. I'm enjoying the course I'm reading it for, where I talk to Japanese students about Japanese culture in English. The book is written by previous students of the same course and edited by the professor.

All-time Favorites

The Oxford American Dictionary Simply the best. Oxford can't be beat for dictionaries. Tons of usage examples, up to date with regards to linguistic theory, well organized for easy understanding. My bible. If you prefer British English, go for the OED.
