There are many 'slice of life' animes and so few adult books on the same genre. Any recommendations? What should be added to this list?

I admit I haven't read much Japanese literature. The only thing that comes to mind is Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata. It felt like it was a book about nothing while reading it; of course in retrospect it wasn't, the themes of the novel were hidden in the slice of life narrative.
