You can probably tell that I love my Japanese Literature. I have probably missed a few out when writing this but I will edit it once I remember.

And my wishlist: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/39AHJIIA8EW8W
Whats yours?

I prefer his other stuff because it was so bizarre overall but GOD, there were some really gorgeous bits. I'd say yes!

I've only read his poetry , which I find quite childlike but I like it , gorgeous is exactly the word I'd use.

I like your list! I've never read anything by Banana Yoshimoto but I'd like to, what would you recommend I begin with? I actually went bookshopping the other day, but bought a whole bunch of other stuff instead. :/

Her writing is soooo light and poignant, theyre only quick, you could finish them in a day or two, I started with Kitchen but I recommend Asleep or Hardboiled Hard luck to start. I put a little exceprt of Lizard in my last entry. Theres nothing wrong with buying too many books ! :)

I was sent it by [info]fraulein_tumor, I used to read it before bedtime and have really yucky stinky dreams. It was quite fun :P

Cool!
What did you think of cosmos? Sagan is God I think.
