    I’ll trade ya The Wind up Bird Chronicles for Slaughterhouse Five.

    I’ve seen people mess with chess pieces like that. If I’m not mistaken, I think Fischer used to do it.

    For sure, man, I’ll read anything you got. I just have to get SH5 back from a friend first. It may be locked up somewhere in Lushun with the other DaWai kids. My small library of English books are becoming the hot commodity these days.

    Can I interest you in something by Paul Theroux or Leo Tolstoy?
