I didn't discover Haruki Murakami until he had already published 11 of his 14 novels and countless short stories. I stumbled on to him just after I bought my first Nook (which wow, was that thing clunky) and I have never looked back. Vintage was good about making all his titles available electronically, and I've read every single one of them.
I didn't binge him, as his works require digestion, but I make it a point to read at least one a year. The 900+ page 1Q84 got me through losing a job and finding a new one.
I also love stumbling on a good detective series. When they finally released Alan Hunter's George Gently, I snapped up as much as I could.
