I didn't see a section - or even a thread - dedicated to Japanese literature. I'm definately not an expert on Japanese literature, but I know that if I've read at least two Japanese books, then others on this site has read some as well.....probably a lot more than I.
Out of the few I've read, I really liked Ju-On (the book version of The Grudge). I tore through it in a day or two during my free hours at school, and it officially became one of my favorite books. I had never watched the movie before, so I wasn't spoiled ahead of time too much. I like how it tells so much more on Kayako's side than the American movie version (never seen the Japanese version...looking forward to getting my hands on it though). I didn't really see Kayako as such a revenge-seeking person when she was alive...she seemed content and sometimes happy, rather then sad and vengeful. Oh well. Other then the occassional plot hole here and there, it was pretty good
So, what's your favorite Japanese book(s) and why? Any books you want to read?
