After the Quake

Haruki Murakami

Vintage, 2003

"What you see with your eyes is not necessarily real."
In a simple, unpretentious, and totally accessible style, Murakami tells six tales, each with a message about life and death and love and loss. Simple, straightforward stories, haunting and hypnotic in tone, belie a complexity of themes and thought-provoking ...

National Lampoon's Big Book of True Facts

Rugged Land, 2005

Nice Job!
This book is a great collection of the 'best' of National Lampoon's famous True Facts section which started the whole "Weird News" category. The new stuff is just as good, and the presentation of the material makes for a snicker-when-no-one's-looking book. A very ...

Norwegian Wood

Haruki Murakami

Vintage, 2000

A haunting story
Murakami is internationally known for a body of work that encompasses a surreal, dreamy, time-sequence-challenged form of fiction (as well as a number of non-fiction pieces). This novel -- said to be somewhat autobiographical -- is a mesmerizing piece of fiction. ...

Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words

Jay Rubin

Random House UK, 2005

The literary phenomenon that is Haruki Murakami
First of all, don't buy this book purely for biographical purposes, hoping to get some hidden insight on Murakami's life. It is clear that Murakami values his privacy intensely and Rubin goes to great lengths to respect that. Also, what information is given about ...

Guerrilla Marketing on the Internet: The Complete Guide to Making Money On-line

Jay Conrad Levinson, Charles Rubin

Piatkus Books, 1995

Very Informative
I always have and always will recommend any and all of the Guerilla books written by Levinson and Rubin. They are informative and give pratical applicable ideas for new business owners.

Guerrilla Marketing Online: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Earning Profits on the Internet (Guerrilla Marketing)

Charles Rubin, Jay Conrad Levinson

Mariner Books, 1997

A GOOD BEGINNER COURSE IN INTERNET MARKETING
I've been marketing on the internet for over 3 years now, and this was the first book on the subject that I had to work with. It is easy to understand, and it got me started. But once you get started--learn, improvise and bust loose! Sure, there are constantly new ...

After Dark

Haruki Murakami

Knopf, 2007

Mesmerizing
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. This one has that mysterious, voyeuristic, supernatural, surrealist feeling of his ...

Rashomon and Seventeen Other Stories (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

Ryunosuke Akutagawa

Penguin Classics, 2006

'Dissapointed'
I saw Kurosawa's Rashomon and thought that Akutagawa's stories used to build the movie fable could give me some additional amazement extending the one I've gotten from the movie. After reading this book from the front to the back cover and under a single breath - I ...

Sanshiro: A Novel (Michigan Classics in Japanese Studies)

Soseki Natsume, Natsume Soseki, ...

Center for Chinese Studies Publications, 2002

Properly Poignant, Pungent and Powerful Prose!
I rate this irony laden story on par with Soseki's most important novel, 'Kokoro.' Joseph Conrad's novels had to travel to Africa and the East Indies to establish the parameters within which the Japanese lived their daily lives as they grappled with the effects of ...

The James Bond films: A behind the scenes history

Steven Jay Rubin

Arlington House, 1981

Lots of info....until the book gets to Roger Moore
The original printing of this book ends with For Your Eyes Only, and the copy I have is an update in the 1983, when Octopussy and Never Say Never Again hit the theaters. This book is what it claimed to be all right, a behind the scenes of the James Bond films. For ...
