I couldn`t get into Haruki Murakami ..but I`m going to give him another chance ..maybe I didn`t read the right stuff.. I like Ryu Murakami (no, they`re not related), Kobo Abe, Agneta Plejiel, Patrick Suskind, Amelie Nothomb, Mircea Cărtărescu, Mario Vargas Llosa, Peter Beagle, F. M. Dostoievski, Stephen King, Pascal Bruckner, John Kennedy Toole, Oscar Wilde, Frank Herbert, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and many more.
I recommend reading:
"Lord Nevermore" by Agneta Plejiel
"The perfume" by Patrick Suskind
"A fine and lovely place" by Peter Beagle
"Crime and punishment" by Dostoievski
"In za miso soup" by Ryu Murakami
"Shining" by Stephen King
"Tanin no kao" by Kobo Abe
"Suna no onna" by Kobo Abe
"Moyetsukita Chizu" by Kobo Abe
"La ciudad y los perros" by Mario Varga Llosa
"Vivir para contarla" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
"Les vouleurs de beaute"
"The portrait of Dorian Grey" by Oscar Wilde
"Dune" by Frank Herbert
"The neon bible" by John Kennedy Toole
and all of Amelie Nothomb`s work
"El tunel" by Ernesto Sabato (I forgot to mention)
"I tell you what's really ridiculous - going into a bookstore and there's all these books about yourself. In a way, it feels like you're already dead."
