following on from october being latin american author decided this month would do asian authors so thats any far eastern ie china, japan, korea, indonesia, malaysian etc ( doesnt include pakistani or indian due to sept read being based on india) so get your thinking caps on what would you like to nominate

JackieB | 123 comments How about Hitomi Kanehara? Her books sound interesting and she has 4 books available in English. That might be all her books - she's not very old. She's Japanses by the way, born in Tokyo.

JackieB | 123 comments OK Autofiction for Hitomi Kanehara then. Though I'm a bit concerned that if people are reliant on using their libraries, they might not be able to get one particular book, they might have to pick up whatever is available by an author.

Lindsey (booksdingle) | 186 comments Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami - we read Norweigan Wood by same author a long time ago so I am not sure if that rules him out, but would like to read more of his books - Japenese too I think!

Haruki Marukami is Japanese, so unless Stephen says otherwise (because of reading Norwegian Wood earlier) he fits the bill for October.
ETA: Oops, I meant he fits the bill for November.

Chris Stanley (christinelstanley) | 206 comments I'm really enjoying The Garden of Evening Mists, The Garden of Evening Mists  by Tan Twan Eng . Not fast paced, action packed, but beautifully written and very descriptive. Excellent choice for BotM
