LOVENABE@somehow managed to remove.

“The Adventures of TOM SAWYER” written by MARK TWAIN
Oxford University Press 2000(orignal first published 1876).
This book is one of the most popular old literature in the United States,
and captured its popularity in Japan in cartoon TV shows.
Despite of its popular background, since I remember litle of it,
I opened this book again.

The story tells that how the boys attain to live happily
with their wisdom and encouragement in overall.
Their quick-witted actions exhilarated me.
I was also interested in “ABOUT THE AUTHOR” section at the end of the book.
When author was working as a guard of the Mississippi river,
“Mark Twain” was named.
The term of “Mark Twain” simply means “4 fathoms of water”.
This fact suprised me.

And this is the first book since I have removed to Tokyo.
So, I think my life is like a little adventure:-D

“The Firm” written by JOHN GRISHAM Penguin Readers 1995
(orignal first published 1991).
The writer is one of the most popular novelist in contenporary America.
The story is famous as a movie too, but I have not watched it.
That` why I was excited reading this book.
The stage on the book is a laywer`s firm as title
and the leading part is a young lawyer.
He is involved in a big plot and fight it…it is this story.
However this book interested me, various characters,
complexd relations and professional terms confused me:'(
So, I think this book is a good text for comprehension of English.

“The Scarlet Letter” written by NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE
Penguin Readers 2000(orignal first published 1850).
This book is one of the most famous american literatures
and known as “緋文字(HIMOJI)” in Japan.

“Hester Prynne” who is the heroine of this story
must put “A”, means “adulteress”, on her dress.
Because her daughter “Pearl”`s father nobady knows and Hester never say.
Who is her father?, this is a basis on the story.

I think this story says a woman who tried to live strongly and truthfully.
I remember that I was moved when I finished reading this book.
Last phrase in this book impressed me, “But not today”.
