After finishing “The Master and Margarita”, I started reading earlier this week “The Remains of the Day” by Kazuo Ishiguro. I wanted to start with Ishiguro a few months ago and I was kind of undecided between this and “Never Let Me Go”, which I nominated for the next bookclub.
I'm currently on page 70 and so far I'm enjoying it. The main character is an old Butler who's kind of of a sperg. His new american boss gives him a few days off and he goes on a roadtrip through the English countryside to visit the old Housekeeper who left the Manor 20 years before while revisiting his memories from the time she worked there.

Currently about halfway through Woman in the Dunes by Kobo Abe. I can't tell if I'm r-slurred but the message seems really obvious, unless I'm just misunderstanding it entirely. Book is still very good though, I love Abe's strange mind.
I also started A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara Tuchman and I am thoroughly enjoying it!
