They just released it - maybe you can sneak into the bookstores and read a chapter here and there?:p
I know! But it is in hardcover! :S I'm not a fan of hardcover... so expensive and harder to read, anyway...

The Master and Margarita- Mikhail Bulgakov
Dance Dance Dance- Haruki Murakami (hot on the heels of finishing Kafka on the Shore- awesome read)
The Unbearable Lightness of Being- Milan Kundera

and the latest Artemis Fowl for light relief in between.

Dance Dance Dance is way better than Kafka on the Shore, it's probably his most balanced novel to date.

I can't :p It's one my great regrets that I picked up French instead of Japanese back in high school

But yes, I think the next Murakami novel will be out in 2010, a long way away. The next short story collection though, will be out either this month or next month on amazon :D

Edit: Make that August.

2nd Edit: According to wikipedia, his next novel, called After Dark will be released in English next year. Hopefully it's true. He's actually way more prolific than I thought.

3rd Edit: Wikipedia's so useful though. It provides a link to this handy page that has a fair few short stories and essays I hadn't read before. The Sheep Man's Christmas is a good one. The Folklore of Our Times is even better, but I'd read it a while back

Ive just read a book called 'A Million Little Pieces' by James Frey...

Currently reading 'My Friend Leonard' by James Frey- the sequel!!!

Has anyone read either?

They were supposed to be memoirs of an alcoholic/crack head in rehab, the 1st book is on Oprah's Book Club List, however, it was taken off because the author was exposed as a fake. He made the story up...

Im glad i knew it wasnt real when i read them though because some it is pretty full on
