Murakami is the perfect hipster writer, in my humble etc etc – style over substance. I also can't get along with Marquez at all. I think his books are a bit schlocky.
The Sun Also Rises is a masterpiece, though, I think.
At the moment I'm in the middle of few things – Mason & Dixon by Pynchon, which is unbelievable; I'm re-reading Crash by Ballard; and then some Richard Ford short stories. I'm about to start Moby Dick, too, which I've never read before.
Have you tried any Don DeLillo, other than Underworld? I remember your comment from the advertising thread.
