Pardon that little mistake, I meant fiction work.

Read part one last night, think i'll read through the second part before I go to bed. i'm enjoying it a lot. You wouldn't happen to have any recommendations on similar books about Japanese history?

>> No.2453961 [View]

Reading his book "Underground" at the moment. It's not bad so far.

Where should I start with his non-fiction work? The Wind Up Bird Chronicles looks interesting.
