Hi, I begin to look for some good Japanese books, which wouldn't be very hard for starting read. Not learning book, but real ones with any subject. Usually I read about music related stuff, but as long as it is Japanese I can still read it. Anyway someone can throw any book you know which is good and acknowledged.

Book also Movie,Norwegian Wood,Murakami (Haruki) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norwegian Wood Noruwei no Mori, is a 1987 novel by Japanese author Haruki Murakami.The novel is a nostalgic story of loss and sexuality.The story's protagonist and narrator is Toru Watanabe, who looks back on his days as a college student living in Tokyo. Through Toru's reminiscences we see him develop relationships with two very different women ? the beautiful yet emotionally troubled Naoko, and the outgoing,lively Midori.
The novel is set in Tokyo during the late 1960s, a time when Japanese students, like those of many other nations, were protesting against the established order. While it serves as the backdrop against which the events of the novel unfold, Murakami (through the eyes of Toru and Midori) portrays the student movement as largely weak-willed and hypocritical.
Murakami adapted the first section of the novel from an earlier short story, "Firefly." The story was subsequently included in the collection Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman.
Norwegian Wood was hugely popular with Japanese youth and made Murakami something of a superstar in his native country (apparently much to his dismay at the time).
A film based on this novel and with the same name was released in Japan on 11 December 2010, that was directed by Tran Anh Hung.
In 2011, a New Jersey high school district removed the novel from its 10th grade Honors English summer reading list after parents protested its inclusion. Objections focused on a lesbian sex scene in the book.
