5 Favourite Japanese books, this a very subjective...

5 Favourite Japanese books, this a very subjective list and could change in the very next second, but whilst
I've these in my head, here we go & in no particular order.

Kafka on the Shore, the first Haruki Murakami I read.

Strangers, Taichi Yamada & the third Japanese book I had read.

The Sea & Poison, Shusaku Endo, the book that sold me on Japanese Literature

In Praise of Shadows, this book by Jun'Ichoro Tanizaki explained to me ideas on Japanese Aesthetics

Underground, another Haruki murakami, but one that showed me, his humanity in a way far different from his fiction.
Now I will sign off, because I already want to change or keep adding.
Thanks Parrish

This sounds like a nice challenge. ^_^
