I’m writing a book “500 best books originally written in English” for Japanese audience, and I have made a tentative list of nonfiction books I am considering including in the book. I have lists for fiction books , children’s books , and classics separately.
This list is not completed and I would like your input. Some of the book’s audience are beginning readers of English and some are native level, so I need a mix of books that would appeal to these various levels that I believe are enjoyable for the Japanese readers. Some are entertaining, and some are mind stimulating, and some of them are informative. The most important thing is that the book gives a Japanese reader a good reading experience. If that experience encourages the reader to pick up another English book, it will be a success.
The following are the criteria I used for the tentative list.
1) The reader feels “ I’m glad I have read this book”.
2) The book has a reasonably wide range of audience.
3) The book must be reasonably well written.
4) The book must be still in print and available in Japan.
I’m including some books I personally do not like very much, because I believe there are many Japanese readers who can learn to enjoy English books from them. Because of the limited number I can list for the book, I decided to chose only one book by each author.
I separated into several genres, but please keep in mind that some of them are mixture of different genres.
