Maybe a bit TOO silly at times. Nonetheless, I am in awe of this man's brain 

The Grip of Film by Richard Ayoade

the joke went on for a touch too long but it's an ayoade joke so it was still a quick and funny read

The Bangalore Detectives Club by Harini Nagendra

2.5

Light and easy read. Reads a bit too simplistic. Brings up a lot of big ideas but does not examine the nuances of any of them. Liberal fantasy writing.

Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel by Michio Kaku

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

dark mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

God, Murakami really can't write women. This is the last time I'm giving him a shot. Some of the prose was well-written but definitely not worth the weird sex. 

The bits with the cats were nice. Would be nice to have just that half of the book without the whiny protagonist.
