Don’t Be An Asshole, And Other Things We Learned From Japan

I’m currently reading Murakami Haruki’s novel, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. As regular readers of The Chaos Factory know, I’m a big fan, and his latest novel is so good I’m ready to write a review and I’m only halfway through. Read this book. Or anything else by Murakami. You won’t regret it.

This one is a modern detective noir thriller, except nothing really happens. The hero does lay at the bottom of the well for three days, reflecting on the emptiness of his life, but I don’t know if that actually qualifies as a happening. Either way, it’s more exciting than a recent M. Night Shyamalan movie of the same name.

Even if you don’t read any of his novels, please take Murakami’s advice and don’t feel sorry for yourself. There are enough assholes in the world already.

Check out Decater's novel, available now at Amazon. Plus, don't forget his other books: They Both Love Vonnegut, Ahab's Adventures in Wonderland, and Picasso Painted Dinosaurs.
