Ryu Murakami

Anybody a fan of Ryu Murakami here?  I've been seriously considering checking him out lately, as I loved the movie for Audition.

I read Piercing. I remember it fondly, and it's the only novel I've ever read in a single sitting.

I'd recommend him, besides my own personal experience, he seems to have a pretty good reputation. It's kind of sad that he'll forever be "the other Murakami".
