What else would you read?

Does eroge count?

anyone have a japanese high school reading list?

can you even into parallel text?

いいえ

I did because of my major but gave up on it after school, got tired of reading about unlikeable protagonists leading depressing lives. I can be unlikeable and depressing all by myself.

No Longer Human

Yes, but I don't talk about it on /jp/ because /jp/ is and English-language discussion board.

There are translated ones around. So, come on honey.

Reading something translated is like eating food doused in dishwater. No thank you.

when i read japanese literature, i imagine the character as 2d

Don't be so grumpy. There are good translators around.
But I realized one thing. This isn't otaku culture. More of a weaboo culture. But sort of reminds me of japanese general. So I guess it's ok. What do you think?

I read Murakami stuffs. And some lady named Banana

Haruki Murakami and Banana Yoshimoto are two of my favorite Japanese authors so far.

I've also read OP's 'Kokoro', 'Black Rain', 'The Tale of Genji', etc.

murakami is for western normalfags. every page is references to western culture

This is what I do with any book.

I've only read Kokoro but it was quite good

I read tons of manga, if that counts for anything.

The Tale of Genji

I couldn't understand the MC who would just go up to a stranger and start talking to him just like that, so I couldn't get into Kokoro at all. I stopped after the first thirty pages.

Noted.

I've read some novels by Kenzaburo Oe, Musashi Miyamoto and Kafaka on the shore by Haruki Murakami and are reading 1Q84 the first part right now.

There's like 10 books worth reading

>>10440523
Couldn't that be said of any language?

>>10440523

Wrong.

>>10440618

Wronger.

The most interesting stuff I read was Suna no Onna by koube abe, and Kappa by Ryuunosuke. I need to read more books by them.

>>10440618
No

reading Runaway Horses by mishima, spring snow was really good

This is America!

Endo's The Samurai and Silence are among my favourite novels.

I love Abe and Kawabata, but as boring it may be, my favorite Japanese writer is Souseki.

a man with no talents was very inspiring
>>10441473
soseki is good though

Seriously? My nigga.

I started to read The Sound of the Mountain and it was honestly pretty interesting, but it was right around when I stopped reading (non-visual) novels entirely and I ended up dropping it. I should probably give it a chance again.
