  I've read Kenichi Yoshida's "Time" today. The author Kenichi Yoshida thinks about the time itself which works with our life seriously. This might sound too much but I thought that Yoshida might want to save the world by writing this book. He doesn't say about God but the writing style is s...

    I've read Toshiyuki Horie's "Forgetting days at a riverbank" at last. This novel is a collection of very short chapters (maybe they are so-called "fragments"). This novel doesn't have any stories and also stays quiet. It is like a ship the main character in this novel lives in. The story goes now...

    Today I've read "Keizo Hino Selected Short Stories" Volume 1&2. It's difficult to explain Keizo Hino's style of writing. It's like the literature which has the taste of Science Fiction or just nearby the world of J.G.Ballard... this makes sense? Every story is interesting. The story about ano...

    Today I attended the English conversation class. The teacher is from Hawaii and told us some interesting topics about Hawaii (For example, "Jurassic Park" was made in Hawaii). Of course, I did my self-introduction to others. That was a game in which we tell them two truths and one false. So I mad...

    I read Toshiyuki Horie's "Forgetting days at a riverbank" a little. In this novel, the main character reads "The Complete Works of Chekhov". I have never read Chekhov seriously but this part made me read his works more so I reserved his books at a library. I might have "Chekhov short stories" but...

    I wanted to read Natsuki Ikezawa's books again so I will read his one "Nautical Chart and Logbook" from a library. And I read Richard Brautigan's, the author whose poems Natsuki Ikezawa had translated into a book "In Watermelon Sugar" again. Then I couldn't read more so I thought I should stop re...

    I borrowed Tatsuro Dekune's book "The letters of the teacher Souseki" from a library. As the title says, this book introduces us to the letters which Souseki Natsume had written. Reading it, I thought that writing letters is good. Dekune says "By writing letters, everybody can be a good teacher"....

    Once Hisao Nakai, a great Japanese psychiatrist, was asked a question "Why shouldn't we kill others?". He answered this. "It means erasing one universe". I remember it. I can't see if this answer could be the "checkmate" to stop murder. But at least this answer represents a person having one univ...

    I read Fernando Pessoa's "The Book of Disquiet" again. I feel the desire to write like him. I remember Radiohead sings "If you're frightened, you can be frightened, you can be, it's OK" by Pessoa's writing. Pessoa looks at his anxiety and tiredness and writes about them honestly. As honestly as p...

    I've read Eric Hoffer's "Working and Thinking on the Waterfront". This book is a journal so we can read this as a collection of memos which various ideas he had thought are written every day, not the book in which he tried to explain single strong thought. So we have to read other books if…
