I Dream of White Sands
It’s a wonderful day outside, there is sun, its warm, I can hear the police cars so justice is being handed out, all is good with the world…oh wait I’m sitting at work, while the sun is shinning and the birds are signing, all is wrong with the world!
I am currently spending vast amounts of money on Amazon buying books! As you can imagine they have everything! And what is good about it, for books out of print they have second hand copies in all conditions, I’m sure you all know this but its still so convenient and cool! My wish list has got over 20 titles in it now, which is well over £300 (~$600) worth of books, and I cant choose which ones to buy today, ok I already spend £12 on two books by Alex Kerr, he is a man that loves Japan, even though he has seen what is wrong with it, he is not disillusion like most of us, having lived in Japan as a little boy and since 1976 (I might be a couple of years off, it could be 72), he has seen Japan transform in more ways that one, his book “The lost Japan” opens a world of drama, arts, and a ruined country side that the Japanese are only just beginning to mourn for. I recommend it to any Japan – obsessed individual. There are moments when it breaks your heart to read, but by the end of the book it makes you want to go and visit Japan so badly, and experience what he talks about for yourself.
OK I went off on a tangent there…sorry! I am a book worm, I cant help it, and if I can help other people enjoy books I will!!
Have a lovely day, I might post a poem later on, see how I feel after my driving lesson, in a Peugeot 206, death-trap!
Ciao
