Anyone else get the urge to spike a difficult book you've just finished?
Or chuck it across the room? Or perform some kind of celebratory dance?
I just finished Kafka on the Shore by Murakami, and I got this urge. I didn't want to ruin the book or anything so I just threw it up in the air like a graduation cap (except I caught it when it came down).
It's not the hardest read in the world, but I got out of the habit of reading for a long time and it was challenging to not give it up halfway through.

I'm kind of jealous.

He's the equivalent of an affordable, upper-middlebrow restaurant.
Literary junk food are airport novels.
