>Natsuo Kirino (Real World)
I really liked this book. The characters felt like teenagers and the plot was tight...I liked the ending and thought it was a solid resolution to the story. The male character (Worm) was kind of flat and his motivations were cliched and simplistic though. It's not high brow lit, but it was a fun read.

>Yoko Ogawa (Revenge)
I really liked this book. Great atmosphere and she's great at imagery (the kid in the fridge). I fell like she conveys the flat emotionality of her characters really well (but that's a common trope in Japanese Literature). Anyway, it was good.

>Kobo Abe (The Woman in the Dunes)
The author Murakami wishes he was. Japanese Kafka

I'm going to read Ryu Murakami (In the Miso Soup) this weekend and look forward to lucking into anything by Soseki Natsume one day.

I own a copy of Naomi by Junichiro Tanizaki and might read it this weekend as well. I know almost nothing about him and if anyone wants to recommend another book by him I'd appriciate it (someone above mentioned Some Prefer Nettles...but also refered to Mishima as "dogshit" and Kawabata having poor prose, so I'm not putting much weight in his opinion)

Because the (((historians))) have less to gain from writing about Japan. Not to mention that they fear the Samurai

That I am the only person I know who thinks it's thoroughly anti-Civilization for women to wear tight clothing because it turns us men into animals and it makes women look undignified.

There should unironically be a stricter law in the books for public decency in relation to clothing. Else more rapes will likely occur.
