I'm doing a clean-out, so offering these up for anyone who wants them, else I guess they'll go on ebay. UK only because I'm not so generous as to pay international postage rates. A mix of stuff I'm done reading, and stuff I picked up off ebay etc. that I turned out not to like /won't re-read.
First come, first served. This may get updated periodically as I convince myself to let go of more books, something I'm pretty bad at.

- Read Real Japanese Fiction - minus the CD, I have no idea where I've put it. Bilingual book of the 'original Japanese on one page, translation + explanation on the other' type. Short stories by contemporary authors like Banana Yoshimoto.
- 逆光の女、by 北方謙三. Story about an author who finds out his ex-girlfriend was murdered. I thought it was going to be about him trying to find the killer but it's a bit disappointing on that front. Recommended if you like novels about fast cars and a lot of scenes set in bars.
- B型のルール by 内川あ也 Non-fiction. Interesting if you want to learn about the whole blood type thing.
- 愛のごとく(two volumes) by 渡辺淳一 I'm afraid didn't even finish the first because I found the protagonist/POV character so unlikeable. Story about a man having an affair who's worried his wife's found out about it.
- メタル・トレーダー a translation of Metal Men by A. Craig Copetas. Non-fiction about "the most wanted white-collar criminal in America".
- 25時 a translation of "The 25th Hour" by David Benioff. Think this came as a freebie in a bunch of books I bought off Ebay, never touched it.
