In the Miso Soup
by Murakami Ryu

erm, there's alot of description of Japan's sex trade which I don't know what to make of, and um, well heh it's just a thriller novel which could do with better suspense...

i'm thankful for its short length! Surprised otherwise I'd probably have chucked this book aside after reading two chapters.

fishiotherapy SG

At the rate this genre of books is hitting the market, I think it is the author that get rich,notthe readers. I suddenly recall our dear Robert Kiyosaki. Plenty of hot air....my apologies in advance for being an opinionated smart alec Embarassed

the Bear SG

i can't sleep.. probably overdid it yesterday Razz

i read Miso Soup... it was kind of scary in the way where the gaijin fella held the japanese guide in terror... what could the japanese guide do?

in the end, maybe it was the only thing he could do..

jetta SG

Re-reading Pearl S Buck's The Good Earth. And another Nora Roberts book on the side. Laughing

the Bear SG

i read The Good Earth about a quarter of a century ago.. i can't for the life of me remember what it was about but i remember it as a great book to read.. Razz

jetta SG

It is, which is why I'm re-reading it to catch the nuances I missed.

Rogue State

It's about how the US itself is the epitome of state sponsored terrorism.

Indeed so. If you bomb a restaurant, you are a terrorist. But if you bomb an entire neighborhood, you're the "Only superpower that the world trusts".

If you use bombs you're a terrorist. If you drop bombs with your air force you're not.

If you make or possess WMD (weapons of mass destruction), you're a terrorist, unless of course if you're the US, you can have WMD and also use depleted uranium.

Terrorists commit acts that "shock the sensibilities of the US". But of course, what the terrorists are doing to the US / English speaking nations (i.e. US, UK and Australia) can be compared to that of person A pinching away at B while B comes at A with a knife.

Enough said. Some are more equal that others.

fishiotherapy SG

Oh really Rolling Eyes it cant be that coincidence. Cool
