Reading: Out by Natsuo Kirino

I have to somehow purge my reading list. Books to be read are piling up on my bedside table while those I have read are in my pseudo-book case.

I've finished Paulo Coelho's Brida sometime last month -- the first book I finished this year. The story was very organic and I've learned so much from it. This is probably one of the reasons why I had a hard time finishing it. I had to digest its very strong messages.

Now, I'm directing all my efforts to Out, the award-winning novel of Natsuo Kirino, Japan's reigning queen of crime.

I'm excited to finish the novel (hopefully within the month) and find out why this book was "sensational".
