Thank you both for very sound advice. I will try out these methods in the immediate future and if I have further
questions, I'll let you both of you know.
As far as Korean books, I've found four novels that middle schoolers are reading these days in school:
연어 - 안도현
공중그네 - 오쿠다 히데오 (a famous Japanese book)
가시고기 - 조세희
난쟁이가 쏘아올린 작은 공 - 조세희

I'll have to check out 공중그네 / 空中ブランコ. Thanks.

I haven't read 1Q84 yet. I'm waiting for the paperback. I highly recommend "世界の終りとハードボイルド・ワンダーラ ド," which I enjoyed enough to read twice. If you're hesitant about reading Murakami yet, I would not start with "ねじまき鳥クロニクル." I've read a lot of Murakami but certain stretches of that book were grueling.
The other Murakami, Murakami Ryu, is good too. I really liked "2 nights 4 girls" but if you're not into the perverse, "69" and "空港にて" were enjoyable. I enjoyed the first book of "コインロッカーベイビーズ" but lost steam a short way through the second (granted quite some time passed between finishing the first and finding a copy of the second).

Thanks for the recommendation, Eric. How would you say Murakami fits into the mystery genre? Mystery is the main
genre I read in Japanese.
