Very based and accurate

Sophisticated anarchy

What languages are you learning, /lit/? How is your progress? What is your strategy.

I think I may have finally broken through on Russian. After about 3 weeks of doing Duolingo and reading childrens' books intensively (6+ hours a day), I can more or less slowly read the Russian version of 4chan. I focused my study more on reading than on writing or listening, so I cannot quite shitpost yet, but I can understand them. There is an odd feeling of 'intelligence' that one feel upon finally understanding idiocy in another language.

I also have middling reading ability in Ancient Greek but material available is less conducive to rapid progress than for a living language.

This is a thread for the discussion of Japanese literature as well as asking for/giving reccommendations. Personally, I reccommend No Longer Human for everyone, if for whatever reason you haven't read it yet.

Also, I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I should start with Murakami? Or, maybe just your favorite of his works?
