Assuming that you're the same idlewords who wrote this [0] blog post in 2005:
It's funny - as someone seemingly a little bit younger than you, I'm pretty sure your top recommendation, The Master & Margarita, did replace Kundera, at least in my experience.
(which - no disrespect to Bulgakov and tongue planted in cheek - is a shame, because Kundera's better!)
I like Murakami, but I think he'd make for a poor "sexually-transmitted book". Most women I know would treat a line-up of his work on a shelf as a bit of a red flag, actually.

- idlewords 3y agoOh cool, I'm happy to hear that! I left the online dating scene around the time a lot of women were posting pictures of themselves suspended from aerial ribbons, while dudes were posting photos of themselves holding up a large fish they caught. At that time, the author of choice was Murakami. So I am badly out of date and welcome more such updates from recent veterans.
