Off to a good start with first book of the year finished: Flights by Olga Tokarczuk. Now reading Perdido Street Station by China Miéville.

Also planning to work through the Malazan novellas over the next month or so.

@Trishh perhaps move on to Earthsea after that...though my next 3 book club reads are Kafka, Murakami, and Ali* Smith.

• thought I'd better include first name as surname is a little generic.

@snail I actually, unclearly, was prodding for a review or two. I’m reading múrakami short stories atm - they are excellent

@Trishh you were clear but I chose to take the conversation in a direction that also fit logically :)

Flights was lovely, a bunch of vignettes, and short bits, sometimes connected within a broader flow...though I am reluctant to suggest narrative.

I'd argue that her Drive Your Plow...is a more accessible work but also very good.

I am disappointed that the Murakami is for the Feb meeting as a nice edition with sprayed edges is due out in April.

@snail you can have too many versions of Murakami?

@Trishh we'll see. I have bought the ebook for now. This will be my first Murakami. I could also wait for Folio to do an edition.

I have at least 3 copies of Dune: Folio Society, Easton Press, Centipede Press. Love the last the most and they are doing all six of the Frank Herbert titles
