 | Norwegian Wood (Vintage East) by Haruki Murakami
Buy used from: £6.00 This tragic story is woven so beautifully, that if it fails to get a reaction from you, then your soul is surely dead. Best novel ever written! (Even better than '1984')
|
 | South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami
Buy new: £3.06 / Used from: £3.23 In a similiar way to 'Norwegian Wood', this (short) novel will seep under your skin until you feel like your life is incomplete without it on your shelf.
|
 | The Wind-up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £3.48 This is Murakami's beast, but one that you will wish was just a little bigger when you finish. Stunning.
|
 | A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami
Buy new: £3.06 / Used from: £2.77 A great place to start with Murakami. Funny to the same level that 'Norwegian Wood' and 'South of the Border..' are beautifully sad.
|
 | Strangers by Taichi Yamada
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £0.01 Yamada's debut in English. Hauntingly brilliant. Repeat reads still bring up the hairs on my neck!
|
 | In Search of a Distant Voice by Taichi Yamada
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £0.01 Follow up to 'Strangers'. Not as gripping but still excellent.
|
 | Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £1.00 I've seen Yoshimoto described as "the poor-man's Murakami" - its a pretty good description. Still warrants a read.

Listmania!
