a totally innocent thread about 日本語 books

IWGP and HP Lovecraft sound very interesting, as well as Rental Magica (the title sounds interesting). Any other recommendations from this hypothetical batch of files?
My plans for this stuff are centered around 'condensed reading', cloze deletion and a form, now that I think of it, of 'negative capability', notions related to determining information value in texts, and my plans based on extemporaneity and the way jdoramas are often subbed now. Point being, I intend to go through a lot of texts. However, I think I'll start with the single shot scifi stuff. There's something minimal and stylish that grabs me about this: All You Need Is Kill

If you note the 'related' books here, I included the original .jp versions of all that group... I mean uh, I included them in my Amazon shopping cart. Excluding Battle Royale near the end of page 1, but including Brave Story at the beginning of page 2 (of that revolving list of related books on the Amazon page for All You Need Is Kill).
