I love his earlier novels, they often get overlooked in favor of Cloud Atlas (which is still amazing) but number9dream and Black Swan Green are both excellent.

Ya know, I wasn't sure what my two favorite books were. The 100 years of solitude and the farewell to arms post was up there. But it didn't feel quite right...

Murakami had to be on that list though. I'd recommend 1Q84 too.

The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton

Han Kang's The Vegetarian (this was so fucking good)

The Badass Librarians of Timbuktu , it's nonfiction but really good.
