Reading......again
I picked up a book by Will Aitken, he has worked for the CBC the BBC, and opened the first gay and lesbian bookstore in Montreal. Needless to say he has a good history as far as prerequisites for writing go. The book is written from the perspective of a women (from Alberta) who goes to japan to teach english...and follows her adventures among the foreign (in more ways then one) race. Such adventures include eating food that tastes like her own skin, growing a pearl in her forehead that she can emit light from, random sexual encounters with the stereotypical small Asian penis, and falling in loe with the local pop-star; Oro. The novel is called Relia but I am going to have to cut this short because my lap-top is dying I will disappear into the abyss of the world without cyber connections. Farewell- Nat

I figured that it would be most appropriate to post this in your "reading again" section.
ReplyDeletePeople are often unreasonalble, illogical and self-centred;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are succesful, you will find some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,someone may distroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see in the final analysis, it is all between you and god;
It was never between you and them anyway.
