<p>I’m writing a book <em><strong>“500 best books originally written in<br />
English for Japanese audience&#8221;</strong></em>, and this is a tentative list of <span style="color:#0000bf;"><strong>160</strong></span><strong> fiction<br />
books</strong>(160 at the moment). I have lists for nonfiction<br />
books, children’s<br />
books, and classics<br />
separately. </p>
<p>This list is not completed and I would like your input. Some of the book’s<br />
audience are beginning readers of English and some are native level, so I need<br />
a mix of books that would appeal to these various levels ;that I believe<br />
are enjoyable for the Japanese readers.  ;Some are entertaining, and some<br />
are mind stimulating, and some of them are informative.  ;The most<br />
important thing is that the book gives a Japanese reader a good reading<br />
experience. If that experience encourages the reader to pick up another English<br />
book, it will be a success.</p>
<p>The following are the criteria I used for the tentative list.  ;</p>
<p>1)  ; The reader feels “ I’m glad I have read this book”.</p>
<p>2)  ; The book has a reasonably wide range of audience.</p>
<p>3)  ; The book must be reasonably well written.</p>
<p>4)  ; The book must be still in print and available in Japan.</p>
<p>I’m including some books I personally do not like very much, because I believe<br />
there are many Japanese readers who can learn to enjoy English books from<br />
them. ; Because of the limited number I can list for the book, I decided to<br />
chose only one book for one category by each author.I will mention other<br />
notable books by the same author when I introduce the book in &#8220;500 Best Books&#8221;.</p>
<p>I separated into several genres, but please keep in mind that some of them are<br />
mixture of different genres.</p>
