Virgil, I promise I vote for Kafka on the Shore, and I find the book and bought it but the translation. Fortunately I have the audio. And thank you for the whole supermarketwhere should I start?!
One thing, Don't worry about me, I never get fatI can handle all of them without sharing anyone
.Anyone wants one?

In that case can I please nominate Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami.
Of course, I'm new here and I don't even know if I'm allowed to nominate...
You will likely never read a novel that matches Tozon Shimazaki's The Broken Commandment. It is the greatest novel I ever read. I'll gladly read it again if there is a consensus for it.
Kit Kat? Did you mean Soseki Natsume's I Am A Cat?

This is a good list. I think I will join in even if one of the three books I have read already win the vote (I enjoyed them all immensely).
Can I nominate? Well if so I'd like to nominate "Kangaroo Notebook" by Kobo Abe.
i nominate (Never Let Me Go) by Kazuo Ishiguro
