However, one thing I'd want in a light novel subforum though is a thread devoted to pointing out novels that might be worth reading in japanese or translating into english, though

Someone could start such thread in the manga sub-forum, no?

Those are posts from the topic that I've created in
Forum & Site Feedback section regarding having an own section devoted for Light Novels. Just as what both of them said, I thought it would be a good idea to establish a topic that covers recommended light novel titles, since the number of light novel titles being translated through fan-subbing or licensing are growing.
Here, you could post any light novel title that you want to recommend, share information, or ask question about a particular title that caught your interest.
It would be great if an entry would include a synopsis, or better yet a short translated part (A prologue maybe).
Of course, light novel discussions for some popular titles (Toradora, To aru Majutsu no Index, Spice and Wolf, etc.) should NOT be discussed here since they already have their respective sub-forums.
I would like to start with my recommendation.

17-years old high school student Kousaka Kyousuke was at a cold-war with his little sister Kirino. They seldom talked, and never had a proper conversation these past years. One day, Kyousuke accidentally found a DVD case of a childish anime program titled "Stardust-Witch Merle". What surprised him more was the fact that inside the case was an R-18 Ero-game
CD ROM. Things looked bad since the obvious suspect for having a pornographic material such as that was HIM. (He did have some, but they were all magazines) He didn't want to think what would happen if his mom or his scary father found out about that. Later he learned that his little sister owned the DVD case (AND the CD ROM inside). She confessed to him that she liked, er, loved Imouto characters with great passion, enough that she'd bought tons of Imouto Ero-games and other Imouto-related items. To put it simply, he learned that she was an Imouto-only Anime Otaku. Kyousuke had hard time believing that a "typical girl nowadays" such as his sister would turn out to be an Otaku. Now, Kirino wanted Kyousuke to have a "Life consultation" with her, which put an end to the peaceful life that Kyousuke was having.

It's a synopsis from
Baka-Tsuki Translation Community. I've read that it's genre was under comedy. By the way, it's not about incest alright?
This novel is quite hilarious^^. Also it was refreshing since the imouto featured here is very different from the typical imouto characters that we have today (Those Imoutos with unnatural affections for their elder brothers). Kirino looks at his brother as though he was a garbage. It was clear that she hated him with passion, which made things all the more interesting.
