Japanese awards

1. Ring Koji Suzuki. If you liked Ring by Koji Suzuki, here are some books like this: Out Natsuo Kirino. Under the Skin Michel Faber.
2. The hit movie The Ring, starring Naomi Watts, is based off a Japanese movie called Ringu ('ring' in Japanese), and Ringu is based off of Koji Suzuki's novel Ring. Most people probably know this story from the former two sources, but I thought Ring the book was excellent in its own right.
