I'm fascinated by Japanese literature and culture and wonder if anyone shares the passion or has a reccomendation?

I've read many Japanese classics like The Tale of Genji and the works of Natsume Soseki. I've also read some modern work by authors like Murakami (all of it!), Natsuo Kirino, Banana Yoshimoto, and Ryu Murakami. I just purchased in DTB (not available ANYWHERE in ebook) Kodansha Press' translation of The Waiting Years by Fumiko Enchi.

So anyone else up for some good Japanese Lit?
