Borders is having a sale, people. 20% off all books, CDs and DVDs for students from 2nd to 4th of August. And then when you buy something, they give you a voucher for 15% off an item that starts on the 5th August. Bastards, tempting me to buy things through discounts... argh... I'm such a consumer whore.
Anyway, I bought "A Wild Sheep Chase" by Haruki Murakami. Having just finished reading his "Kafka on the Shore" I was keen to continue my Murakami odyssey. The plan is to read all his books. I fell in love with his writing when I read "Norwegian Wood", I think it was last year or the year before (thanks Lynda!). I've read a few of his other books but I intend to read them all.
Anyway, this one is officially my second favourite of his books... after Norwegian Wood. I won't go into it now (read the link) but it's really an interesting story and you should pick it up if you can.
Also, i saw "A Bittersweet Life" with Heidi at the film festival. It's an excellent movie, a revenge fantasy in the same vein as "Old Boy" and "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" but not quite as visceral. Again, I won't go into it because I can't be bothered but I highly recommend it. Korean movies are really raising the bar these days.
