I also highly recommend HARUKI Murakami's work...very tripped-out detective novels with metaphysical and romantic bents to them... A great starter is "Dance Dance Dance" or "A Wild Sheep Chase", but I've heard that "Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World" is also pretty fabulous... My other fave authors to offer up are: Jonathan Carroll -- "Sleeping in Flame", "Outside the Dog Museum", "After Silence" Richard Bach -- ANYTHING Tom Robbins -- "Jitterbug Perfume", "Still Life with Woodpecker" Nicholson Baker -- "Vox", "The Fermata" (not exactly romantic, but hey, not everything in life is...)

one of the best books i have read recently has been "coin locker babies" by ryu murakami ... it is written very ridiculously, and includes such wonderful things as weird sea diseases that youngsters plan to take over the world with and imaginary ghost towns full of wolves that one of the boys adopts.. fuckin beautiful. :)
