It's taking me a while to get through 1Q84 but I'm about halfway. I think it's his best use of mystery yet.

I would highly recommend Kafka and Norwegian Wood. Those two are my favorite. Sputnik Sweetheart is good too; it was my first.

1Q84 starts getting really weird and awesome a little past halfway through. People kept asking me what it was about but I couldn't tell them. You won't be able to, really, until the very end.

That's how all of them are lol. I can never explain his books except with the words metaphysics and cats. But he is probably the most effective author when it comes to helping me escape. I also find some of his books relaxing.

I'm in the middle of Faust. Pretty grand. (Also reading Mansfield Park, which, thus far, is Jane Austen's best work).

I recently finished American Sniper by the late U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. Chris Kyle. He talks about how he became the sniper with the most confirmed kills. It's a very good book if you enjoy reading military books.

I also just finished Damn Few by U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. Rorke Denver. He talks a lot about when he went through BUD/S and other missions prior to and including Iraq. It's another very good military book.

i recommend heart and the fist by eric greitens. oxford scholar and navy seal

a man among boys

If you like seal stuff you should try "Point Man" by Chief James Watson and Kevin Dockery. Watson was one of original seal team members.
