despite being a person who loves words. adores them. is practically addicted to them. simply can't get enough. and who has even been fondly accused of having a mild case of hypergraphia, i don't like crossword puzzles. never have. they feel like a trick to me. like there's something a bit malevolent in them. so i never do them. ever. not even if i'm really bored.
and to ease the blow of such a short secret today, i'll send a little surprise to the first person who guesses the book above correctly.

Ditto on the crosswords. When I'm truly bored and stuck in a doctor's office or something, I'd rather make lists.
Am in love with my new word hypergraphia! And here I thought it was called "diarrhea of thought."
As for the book, I got nuthin'.
Hi Julie
oh thank goodness some one else who hates them too - but they tell us crosswords are good to fend off senility - perhaps I will stick to haiku - that teases my synapses enough...
Happy days
Cross words, too much bad karma. Pleasant words are much better.
Crosswords are the devil. Not only do I dislike them, I couldn't finish one if my life depended on it. My mind just doesn't work that way.
I wish I knew what the book was though. Great post!

Did I win???
ps - I LOVE crosswords, do them almost everyday (when I'm not busy playing online)
Love crosswords. But only if I can do them all the way through and feel incredibly intelligent.
But that goes for pretty much everything I do.
Great secret! I'm the same, I hate them and are bad at them. Thus, I don't do them...
Hate them. My friend used to do them every day during Spanish class (we never did anything at all). He'd come and sit by me and try to get me to help him out. I refused, until of course I'd guess one or two. But how do you know if they're right? Scratch it out, do it again. Arg!
I can do wordsearches all day long but crosswords annoy me. No words ever fit.
I hate crosswords, they make me feel really silly.
I have no idea what the book is but I'm really, really curious!
I love crossword puzzles. There is a trick to them and once you figure it out, you can finish the puzzle!
I don't like crosswords, either; funny, that. I love Scrabble, though.
Wish that I could guess the book! But sadly, I cannot.
i am really bad at crosswords, but man do i try them every day. ; )
rxBambi - you got it!!! it is murakami's dance, dance, dance. :-)
I don't like crosswords. Maybe because I such at them. =)
I confess I love them. But only the medium difficulty ones...anything else frustrates me to no end.
phew! I'm not the only one :-)
It helps when you do a lot of crosswords created by the same person. Currently I'm trying out cryptic crosswords - not being to successful
