Reddit reviews Basho: The Complete Haiku

i have a few if you don't mind multiple entries. I can't choose just one D:. Murakami as you mentioned is love.

• not a writer per se but a poet... Basho - it's mostly because i have a terrible terrible attention span and each haiku takes me to a different place in an instant and brings me back.
  
  
• i am liking Pema Chodron as well - right now, things aren't so stable in my house and school. my head is a royal mess and i've been thinking of becoming an hero more often than usual. she calms me down and brings me back to the present. or the book.
  
  
• natsume soseki - kusamakura is not as famous as Botchan or I am a Cat but just a few pages will suck you into that atmosphere and won't let you go.
  
  
• osamu dazai - reading "no longer human" was like someone talking about me, just in a different setting. scared me and depressed me for a long time. but it was so fantastically written [translated i mean - by donald keene].
