Books
Well, my mom thought we should start our summer reading, so we went to Barnes & Noble yesterday. I chose to read "My Brother Sam is Dead" by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier, along with "Rocket Boys" by Homer Hickam. Now, my brother had read the first book when he was going into eight grade, so I'm just going to use his copy. When we got there I went to the biography section and found "Rocket Boys" fairly easily, leaving me about an hour to wander around the store while my siblings sought out their books. Of course, for those who don't know, I have been intensely studying the Japanese language for a few months now, with a book with a very limited vocabulary. So I was browsing the language section when what do I come across but an entire shelf of English-Japanese/Japanese-English dictionaries. I eventually chose one that was published by Random House since it was compiled by a Japanese author and had over 50,000 entries. The cost? $12.95 plus tax.
The best part of course is that it includes the spellings of the Japanese words in both the Romaji, and Kana/Kanji.
