Anything by Yukio Mishima, Banana Yoshimoto, Haruki Murakami and Ryu Murakami (See? Contrary to popular belief, I don't read only manga!), The Lord of the Rings and anything Tolkein, Jim Morrison biographies, His Dark Material Trilogy, Harry Potter, The Sun Also Rises, just finished On Writing by Stephen King which I enjoyed. And I'm an art book junkie! Recent purchases include: Hakua Ugetsu's Flamboyant, Natsuki Sumeragi's Gashu, Akhiro Yamada's Fantasy Artworks, Mike Kaluta's Wings of Twilight (even got an original sketch!), Swallow Issue Two and Robot 4. And I have a new box on the way from Japan now! I also highly recommend Hideaki Uchiyama's Japan Underground photo books, which are simply amazing!
