I've been reading Quichotte by sir Rushdie of the fatwa clan. It's a bit hackish for modern commentary, but the man is still a great writer which makes is easy to wade through.
Book update: what are you reading? Illiterates need not comment.

Just finished Artists of the Floating World by Ishiguro and about to start Remains of the Day. Good book and a big fan of his writing style.

Ishiguro was completely deserving of his Nobel Prize. Never Let Me Go is a solid book too if you haven't been spoiled on the premise ahead of time. Even knowing it's good, but it's much better if you go in blind.

Was it that good? I read it in high school and didn’t really enjoy it.

Never Let Me Go? I thought it was solid, and more modern than The Remains of the Day. I think Remains is still his best book though. To clarify, he won the Nobel for his total body of work, which I think was deserved.
I just like the way he tells stories, and the way he captures very specific kinds of despair. He makes it easy to viscerally understand the complex sorrow of a life that I would never choose for myself, and that takes skill.
