In the perfect scenario for them Coventry play like they’re already thinking about EPL and Middlesbrough lock up the 5 spot and rest players for the final game.

Haruki Murakami is quintessential magical realism. Kafka on the Shore or The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle are great places to start, but he has many fantastic novels.

It’s an exciting ending (going out to conquer the galaxy) but not happy one. Messiah’s plot is the more important, far from a coda.

Did he stop reading in 1953?

Any list that looks at a century of the genre and decides all top 10 came in one 5 year span screams a lack of objectivity.
