As a big Murakami fan I really enjoyed Banana Yoshimoto's Kitchen, a book containing two short stories about characters in Japan (they are not as intensely metaphysical as Murakami's work, but they do have a quality similar to his - especially in terms of interpersonal communication).

Got a seven hour car ride comin' up and I was hoping someone might provide a great Audiobook recommendation. I reckon the Audiobook can also be up to fourteen hours long given I've a return ride soon after. Fiction is probably the genre I am looking at, though if it's a great reading of a sci-fi/fantasy novel or a brilliant non-fiction reading, those may suffice. Historical fiction like James Clavell would be cool because I can see that being entertaining, but hell, I'll take Patrick Stewart reads Confessions of a Shopaholic if that's good too. I have never listened to an Audiobook if that helps.

colonelsandy posted:Max Brooks World War Z is probably the best audiobook I've ever listened to (cast includes Mark Hamil, Henry Rollins, and Alan Alda to name a few), highly recommend it. Also Murakami's Wind Up Bird Chronicle is amazing as well. I decided to try A Wild Sheep Chase, having read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, and I got about seven minutes into it before realizing that Audiobooks are absolute dreck. Problem solved!
