I will always have a fond spot in my heart for this particular book; it was my introduction to the wonder that is Atwood. It’s a Booker-winning play on genre that twists gothic romance with pulpy science fiction, populated by astonishingly vivid characters and scenery. When I finished it I found myself torn between reading it again and grabbing one of her many other masterpieces. -Kat

If books were sounds, Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood would be but the faintest rustle of winds as heard from the center of a vast natural valley. This novel is muted in tone, following a Japanese college student through his life and loves. What sets it apart from other like-minded, yet boring and tedious works is its exquisite detail and rich imagery. Your investment in the text is assured once Naoko is described to you, because by then you'll be in love with her too. -Zack
