That's good ^^

But you need also to fluency your conversation.

I am reading The Tale of Genji (Genji monogatari). But in English. *ashamed*
I don't think I could read the japanese verse.
Even the english version is a bit hard to understand.

yes.i know it...i have learned English 4 months.but,i need more more study it..^^;;

Are you reading Genji monogatari???
that book was written in 1000 years ago!!!!!it's toooo difficult for recent Japanese to understand...it's different language and culture.it was written in Classical Japanese.we need translation,too.^^;;;;

it is good for you to read books which was written since Shouwa(1926-) era.^^

but,i think it is lovely fantastic story.of course,I read it.^^

がんばって^^

yes. but still chapter 3. ^^;

i like classic romance story. I read San Pek Eng Tay (Chinese story), Sense and Sensibility, Oliver Twist, many more. While reading it I often imagining the situation in that era.

I am curious about Genji Monogatari, because some people often mention that story.

H. C. Andersen's Classic fairy tale also interesting. ^^

I want to read Shakespeare's story too. ^^

They said good literature can move people's heart.

I don't read The art of war, because the title contains war. I don't like war. >_<;
But it seems male people really like that art of war and three kingdom.

San Pek Eng Tay is the story about a girl's fight for her freedom to study in school and her right to marry the one she loved, one thing that hardly to do by a girl in China that ages.

Sense and Sensibility is a novel by Jane Austen about how people often misjudge people by their appearance without seeing their true personality. It's more to love story. =^^=

Oliver Twist is a novel by Charles Dickens. It's a story about a poor boy named Oliver Twist. How he fight for his own freedom and live. With British in Industrial Revolution era background.

I will find Shakespeare after I finished this Genji Monogatari. And I actually have a book that haven't finished yet.. >_<; titled Purpose of Driven Life. It's Christian book... Lazy mee....
