After Dark 78 reviews Haruki Murakami
Tusquets, 2008
Mesmerizing
+ Superb. + Intriguing, but with too many loose ends.
I think this is the most down-to-earth novel by Mr. Murakami that is published now but with a touch of his earliest novels. I admire his recent novels but I also love his previous ones.

Neuromancer 452 reviews William Gibson
Ace Hardcover, 2004
Still Good After All These Years
