it's odd to me that you'd expect a large stock of English books in any regular Thai library

even in Japan, with perhaps the very strongest reading culture in the world, you're going to find a relatively limited selection of books in library outside of their own language

you'll likely have less success finding a varied stock of Thai books in Oregon, to the surprise of nobody



What are the 3 best Japanese books to read in your opinion?

Like for English a good 3 would be Infinite Jest (trendy, pretentious), Moby Dick (classic), and Lord of The Rings (meme worthy).


There are hundreds of great ones, but Tale of Genji (classic), The Master of Go (amazing if you like the board game Go), Coin Locker Babies (Ryu Murkami > Haruki Murkami), Out by Natsuo Kirino.
