Books read in 2026

The Strange Library (Haruki Murakami) -- more a work of graphic art than a story.  The story is of a young boy who disappears into (for what may be a few days) and eventually escapes from a municipal library.

Flesh (David Szalay)  -- this review intentionally left blank

The Lazy Burglar (George Simenon)

The Hunchback  (Saou Ichikawa) -- story of a severely disabled but rich woman living in an assisted living facility who dabbles in pornographic writing, posts on social media.  Her strange desires.  Told from different viewpoints of the who the narrator may be. 

Desire  (Haruki Murakami)  -- a collection of short stories, 

  • The Second Bakery Attack (Jay Rubin) -- quirky
  • On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning (Jay Rubin) -- what may have happened
  • Birthday Girl (Jay Rubin) -- What will be will be?
  • Samsa in Love (Ted Goossen) -- imaginative
  • A Folklore for My Generation: A Pre-History ofLate-Stage Capitalism (Philip Gabriel) -- poignant
