    Well, for starters, it's pretty sad that there isn't a single mention of any Japanese writers on here.

    I've read some of it and my housemate's read it and yeah, it's worth a read. Sartre's first book isn't it?

    Silence by Shusaku Endo is my personal favourite.
    And take your pick from the following:
    Murakami, obviously
    Yasunari Kawabata
    Kenzabur&#333; &#332;e
    Ry&#363;nosuke Akutagawa
    Ry&#363; Murakami (as opposed to Haruki)
    Junichir&#333; Tanizaki
    Mishima...

    Some of the greatest writers have been Japanese.

    It's a good book, but Sartre has written better. If you are interested in existentialism, then read him. If not...
