Kinda feels like the book I read a while ago, 'no one is talking about this', again this book feels like a prison cell, overall claustrophobic in nature. Why am I reading this, then? Somehow hard to put down; the oppressed house-wife-female experience in its most extreme and fierce sense. The life of housekeeping, should be written about, more. The social structure in this book isn't unfamiliar at all.

Picked this book up numerous times in my life, but never got to reading too much of it.. but then again the setting now rings too true for our times, and one can not help but read on.

Memories are wonders. How come I remember the title of this book after 40 years..? I had never read it, but now as I read it, it is refreshingly amusing. A boy writes to his favorite author and tells him about what's happening around him everyday, especially how he is frusterated about someone stealing his lunch, how he copes in school, and finds his way through writing.

This is such a must-read; by all means I strongly recommend this book, even though I am still on my way at reading it.

ラッセル読んだらヒルティの幸福論も。。昔アランやショーペンハウエル(?かな)の幸福論まで集めて読み漁ってたっけ。岩波古典の哲学系しかかたん、と昔は思ってたけどその思いを再び新たにした。

Being on the verge of burnout, from overloading and managing multiple tasks, I picked up this book for some tips. Not sure whether it helps, but just for a change..

I'm reading the ladder edition of this; 3000 vocabulary version. It was the only one in store, so as long as I can read the story, I wouldn't mind. It seems to be about who holds out longer, in a hard and stagnant situation. I can relate to that, who can't? ? It's all about inner strength and tough days. It kind of nurtures you like a soil, when you look back. While being inside it's tortuous. Surely a lot going on.
