This book is RRRREALLY good!

The ABC bookstore has compiled a booklet for its annual book festival. This year, the general theme is "Waterscape."

I was asked to recommend a title along with a little more than 150 others. You can pick up a copy of it this week, for free (sure).

My pick was Josephy Brodsky's Watermark. There is another person, Jun Aoki, who has chosen this same book.

The booklet reminds me of many titles that I haven't had a chance to lay my hands on. It's good, occasionally, to join such a project! Thanks to my friend Hiroe Ogawa...
