/lit/ - Literature

Like many of you /lit/, I don't read actual books and instead immerse myself in the labyrinthine, tantalizingly exotic worlds of Japanese mangas and their animated adaptations.

Unlike most of you though I recognize this as a flaw.

And so I seek your aid. Which books are most likely to be enjoyable to me, a fan of things like the manga adaptation of Neon Genesis Evangelion, and "Hunter x Hunter", while simultaneously having the mysterious and most desirable quality of "literary merit"? Is Welcome to the NHK good?

I'm desperate here. Prove me wrong.
