The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
This was my first Murakami book. I stayed up late, carried it to work so I could read it during breaks, could not get it out of my head. I have since read many of his books but this started it all.
Inconspicuous Consumption: An Obsessive
My first purchase on Amazon, made in July 1997. Written by the genius Paul Lukas after years of publishing his excellent zine Beer Frame.
Amelie
Sweet, funny and beautifully filmed. I always cry with joy a little bit at the end.
Detectorists
A wonderful, gentle, hilarious show. Absolutely perfect.
