Japanese Literature Reading Challenge 19

My love affair with Japan has led me to join another reading challenge.  This challenge takes place only in January and February so I need to choose books ASAP. Asako Yuzuki’s Butter was so good that I feel compelled to read more Japanese stories.  Book choices can range from short stories to classics and contemporary fiction. I am going back to Japan in March so a two month challenge fits perfectly within my schedule.

The challenge is hosted by the Dolce Bellezza blog. The challenge sign up post is here.
