Pic related, it's very easy to read and pretty comfy too. The main character is the heir to a merchant family so he is born rich, but he is born into a matriarchal house so, struggling to find an identity for himself he spends a lot of time in tea houses and buying different geisha mistresses. Interesting though that it's a female author, she manages to get that hit on that idea of needing something or someone specifically to fulfill yourself.

Pierre was also my favourite character, I found the most enjoyable pages were his.

Reading this at the moment, I find it's very good. Focuses on the head of a family and his harem of geishas and how individual they are. I read before the coffee gets cold last week. That book is very weak in comparison to something like Bonchi, but I kept with it because it's short and the concept is cool. The translation was rubbish though and it felt more like a book written by an american than by a japanese person.

I think norweigan wood is his best book too. I found Kafka more enjoyable out of those two however.
