Please post your

recommendations for summer reading here. (Fiction only, please.)
I like all genres, as long as it’s

imaginative and original. My most recent finds are:

“Oryx and Crake” by Margaret Atwood - A frightfully

convincing vision of the not-too-distant future. Where bioengineered chicken nuggets grow on “trees”, executions are

the most popular form of internet porn, and drug companies compete by trying to design viruses that their

competitors can’t cure.

“In the Miso Soup” by Ryu Murakami - A psycho-thriller about a young man that works

as a tour guide for Americans that want to experience the seedier side of Tokyo’s night life.

“Homo

Zapiens” by Victor Pelevin - A dark satire in which former apparatchiks from the Ministry of Propaganda dominate the

advertising industry in post-communist Russia.
