Ooh, hurrah! Normally I'd suggest 1Q84, but if you're looking for something short then that's way out of the question. Depending on how long you want to be reading, I'd suggest Sputnik Sweetheart (a day-long read, perhaps? Just over a hundred pages) or Norwegian Wood (one of his most popular, but a bit longer than Sputnik). Otherwise a collection of his short stories, like The Elephant Vanishes. The stories in there you can get through in a matter of minutes, really, and I think they'd make a pretty decent entry point to his work.
