Hmmm... Only read two, "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" and "Norwegian Wood". The first was, I thought, overly dark, disturbing. The latter maybe a bit too twee? Very different from one another for sure.

Others no doubt will disagree, but I am not sure I would recommend either. To be sure though, "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" had the biggest impact on me, is a wild and strange book. As an example, without giving too much away, the protagonist seems to have an unhealthy obsession with climbing down to the bottom of very deep wells (pits) and just hanging out.
