1. Haruki Murakami (January 12th, 1949- present) After reading Norwegian Wood, I felt compelled to go out and read nearly every book of Murakami that’s been translated into English. His books are largely contemplative and metaphysical and challenge much of the world around us, something which I personally love. He’s known for incorporating music and philosophy extensively into his work as well as elements of his own young adult life. Though his works were originally written in Murakami’s native Japanese, there is no quality lost in the translations, which I’ve found to be endlessly captivating. Some of his other works that I’ve enjoyed and can vouche for include: Norwegian Wood Kafka on the Shore A Wild Sheep Chase After Dark Sputnik Sweetheart South of the Border, West of the Sun
