I might just finish some remaining novels by Maya Yutaka, but then again it's kind of prosy since he already is my favorite author anyway and there are so many other authors to explore. He did win all those mystery awards last year with 隻眼の少女 though...<br /><br />I have Nikaidou's books that were published before 人狼城の恐怖 piled up beside me but I stopped reading the third novel in the series somewhen near the end of last year due to similar reasons like yours. Which is the only real flaw I would point out in his writing style IMO. There are narratives that simply don't need to be this stretched.<br /><br />Talking about long books: I still have the Yokomizo Seishi and Oguri Mushitarou collections from Sougen Suiri with their... efficiently compressed font left on my endless list >_>mousoukyokuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00755066580829504834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-68706245551179526932011-07-27T10:21:59.859+02:002011-07-27T10:21:59.859+02:00Not counting my Edogawa omnibuses, the only long n...Not counting my Edogawa omnibuses, the only long novels I've left here 二階堂黎人の『悪霊の館』 and 法月綸太郎の『生首に聞いてみろ』 and 横溝正史の『悪霊島』(上下), the rest is all under 400 pages. I hope to finish at least those three this summer, the rest can be managed even during university. I hope.<br /><br />I have a hard time getting through 『悪霊の館』 though. Not only is it 900 pages, but like many of Nikaidou's stories it starts rather slow, which is not motivating me to continue with the book.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-2131360783048623832011-07-26T19:25:19.561+02:002011-07-26T19:25:19.561+02:00Still have to read the third book in the series......Still have to read the third book in the series... 月光 was fine, devoured and loved 孤島. 双頭 still discourages me due to its length even though I've read enough books with the same length... but that was when I had more free time.mousoukyokuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00755066580829504834noreply@blogger.com
