Robert Macfarlane (the author of this article) has written some great books. The last one I read was The Wild Places [1] which I highly recommend.

I've actually quit for several months a couple of times, but the first really bad day made me run straight back to it. I guess part of what I need to do is educate myself on better coping mechanisms.

I will have a look at the SMOK stuff - thanks.

The cost of patches and gum, etc, is definitely an issue for some of us. I've tried and failed quitting smoking several times cold turkey and can't afford all the other stuff.

The first Murakami I read was Kafka on the Shore, and it's still my favourite.

As far as other authors, Revenge, by Yoko Ogawa is in my all-time top ten.

It's a pretty safe bet, though.
