The latter and Nocturnes have been on my radar for a while, but I'm not sure when I'm gonna pick them up.

I just started the first page of Ishiguro's Nocturnes. It's stll eary days to know whether I'll like it or not. :) Just wonder when I'll have time to read Lolita. Although I have one "Reading Lolita in Tehran" on my pile though. @Mee, Funny that you asked. I just started the first page of Ishiguro’s Nocturnes.

I got the gist of it from Pamuk's afterwords. But I listened to it only once. It would be great if I could get the text-format, and read it while listening to Pamuk reading!

I didn't know he wrote short stories too. Did you read the Murakami piece I linked to last week? Hope you enjoyed it! Did you abandon Interpreter of Maladies? I remember you mentioned it last week.

The creepy premise appeals to me lol. I saw there's Lorrie Moore story in the podcasts so I'm thinking that one, and I noted your recommendations. Thanks!
