Comment:
First of all, I really respect Haruki Murakami, and this story is one of my favorite novel. I think it isnt a love story because I thought about death a lot than love. Murakami world is often strange and peculiar, but this is very genuin, but very complicated.
It is not so easy to read, but i've read it already so i could guess the word meaning, and finished to read somehow.

Comment:
I've read this story in Japanese already, but i was interested in reading also in English because i really love this story! This story changed my life!
My best scene is the interaction with a little prince and a fox. I was really moved by fox's word "what is essential is invisible to the eys".
I remenber this word forever in my life.

Fantastic Mr.Fox
Author: Roald Dahl
Pages：９６
Summary:
Boggie, Bunce and Bean who are nasty farmer and they are always bothered by Mr. Fox who is very smart and he has a lovable wife and children. For them, Mr Fox tries to catch some foods which Boggie, Bunce and Bean has so they decide to kill Mr. Fox, but Mr. Fox is more clever than them, so they can not kill him. At last, eventually Mr Fox is not catched by them, and his family and other animals who Mr Fox meet while he fight with 3B enjoy their meal together.
Comment:
I like Roald Dahl's novels and this story is also wonderful! Especially, when raccoon asked Mr Fox "Is thief not the bad thing?", he answered "even they're(3B) trying to kill me, Im not trying to kill them". I think it is very deep answer and thought lots of things. (maybe these sentences are wrong!)
I'd like to read more Dahl's story:)

My Best Book
My best book that i read in last semester was "Two Lives".
It was kind of sad love story.
One woman and man who lived in London and loved each other.
But one day, they broke out because of the war.
Woman who called Megan, forced to leave London and went to Canada.
Man who called How, promised her to send letters from London.
But she didnt get any letters from him, it besause of her parents.
They didnt like How, so they hid all the letters away from Megan.
Time past about 40 years, the war was over, Megan found the letters after her parents died.
She was really shocked but at first she wanted to see How very much, actually she had married, but she decided to go to London to see How. And they met for a long time.
This is very very sad story but I really like it.
Finally, they decided to live their own lives. Maybe the reader tend to hope their happy ending, but it wasnt. It is the good point and impressive point of this book i think. I think this type of life is possible for us to spend. We are spending very happy and calm life, but by some turning point, our life will possibly change. I was thought by this book.
How is my favorite character because he is very honest and kind. He always think about Megan with warm heart.
Extensive reading was helpful for me. Books has a lot of new words and reading is very easy to do!
I really like reading a book, so i want to continue it.
This semester, i wanted to improve my reading speed.
