On that note, I've got a couple of light novels: ToraDora, Spice & Wolf, To Aru Majutsu no Index, Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan. Plus some stuff from Hoshi Shin'ichi. I have the translated copy of Hiroki Azuma's 2001 book (Japan's Database Animals, a topic which is covered in an article that had its own thread on AS) and some of Murakami's works. I think books are a really effective way to learn more about how authors from a culture see things differently or word things in a specific way. It's really surprising how view points and expressive ability differ so widely between people. |

I read the occasional J-novel. Right now I'm reading an account of someone's mother's struggle with senile dementia "Okaasan wa Uchuujin." Depressing doesn't even begin to describe it.
