So yes, I think I may need to do my own list of things to do to keep me organized. But first! My mother and sister came home from Singapore two days ago. They were there visiting my eldest sister who is currently pursuing her MBA in the National University of Singapore on a partial scholarship. I had wanted to go as well, but I have school, damnit. While the books I asked for were bought for me, my sister bought a bunch of dresses and skirts which were really very pretty. I'm envious she bought one for her best friend but not for me ;_;!

In any case, the books I got:

• Globalization and Its Discontents by Joseph Stiglitz
• From Eroica with Love 3 (english translated)
• 八月の路上に捨てる (Hachigatsu no rojou ni suteru - Throwing Stuff Away on a Road in August) by Takami Itou
• 介護入門 (Kaigo nyuumon - Introduction to Nursing Care) by Mobu Norio

Yes, four more books to add to my quickly growing collection. It was only lately that I really started buying books; you'd think I was trying to make up for lost time. x_x It was too bad that they weren't able to get a hardbound copy of Lolita in Borders in Singapore. I'll have to ask my uncle (who lives in LA) to buy it for me on Amazon, along with a leatherbound copy of Lewis Carroll's works that I've had my eye on recently. <333

Thus, I can then make a list of the books I need to read for school. This includes two books for Japanese History that is included in the list below.

• The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization by Thomas L. Friedman
• The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century by Thomas L. Friedman
• Globalization and Its Discontents by Joseph Stiglitz
  
• Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang
• Factories of Death by Sheldon H. Harris
• Japan: Past and Present by Edwin Reischauer

I think there's one more book I need to add to that list. In any case, I have to finish reading all those in this term, which ends somewhere in December. I'm almost done with the first one, anyway. I think I have to finish it this weekend and get started with Stiglitz next. His book isn't that long, and it seems interesting. Then I have to write book reviews for the next two novels, and I have to photocopy the whole history book and read to catch up on the lectures. Whee. What fun.

友達と遊んだ日に「Ｆｒｏｍ　Ｅｒｏｉｃａ　ｗｉｔｈ　ｌｏｖｅ」という漫画を買った。○（≧▽≦）○
はじめに見ると、いいかなと言ったけど読んでいる間にだんだん面白くなって嬉しかった～

今度次の分をきっと買うつもりだ。(￣ー￣）
