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.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

HOLY CRAP! This book is amazing, and a true work of art that can only come from a divine power. The book provides great in-depth detail of a hungry caterpillar and his struggle to quench his hunger in this new world, but eventually succumbing to lust for food and making an example of what can come from gluttony, a tummy ache. I recommend this book for all of those wanting to educate themselves and become self-conscious of this caterpillar's story.
