December Books

Before the year's over, let's have a quick look at this month's books:

A Red Herring Without Mustard: A Flavia de Luce NovelA Red Herring Without Mustard: A Flavia de Luce Novel (2011)
Alan Bradley
Bantam ISBN:9780385343466

The 3rd Flavia de Luce novel and again I fully enjoyed it. I guess I'll read the whole series as it comes out.

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the WorldHard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (1991)
Haruki Murakami
Vintage ISBN:9780679743460

I've had read Norwegian Wood some years ago and was somehow expecting something in a similar melancholic style. But this book is nothing like it. Instead it's a surreal journey in and into the protagonist's mind. A really fascinating read.
