This is a nice thread. Let's have a book edition.

I just read my first book by Haruki Murakami, "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle". Murakami gets a lot of praise in these parts, and after reading this book, I can confirm that it isn't unfounded. The book to me felt a bit weaker towards the end, but I really liked hearing the stories of Nomonhan, Siberia, and such.

The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

Satisfying mystery set in ye olde new zealand golde rush times, with the interesting archetypal symbolism of character personalities being based on particular astrological signs and celestial objects, and their interactions derived from stellar conjunctions during the dates the novel spans. It's kinda like homestuck's astrology characters, but with a bit more substance. Each chapter is half as long as the preceding one which I liked, but consequently the opening chapter made up half of the novel, which was a bit brutal.
