This is a thread for the discussion of Japanese literature as well as asking for/giving reccommendations. Personally, I reccommend No Longer Human for everyone, if for whatever reason you haven't read it yet.
Also, I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I should start with Murakami? Or, maybe just your favorite of his works?
Pic unrelated.

It's so short but it really drags on. Some parts are very poignant and well-written, like when Sensei was talking about the guilt in loving, but most of it feels like filler. Am I going about this wrong? It's only my second Japanese book after No Longer Human.

This.
Can't go three sentences without one of the characters muttering some esoteric Japanese poem. I will admit there is some charm to it though.
