Today was my first day of one of my new classes...Tech. Ed. Last year it was woodworking...this year its careers and future goals. Either way I'm excited about it, I like this class. So yeah, nothin' much to report today...I'm almost done with that book I posted awhile ago, Kino no Tabi(Kino's Journey). And I just read this chapter today called "The Land of Peace" and I almost cried...it was a really brutal chapter. Heres a summary of the book, I got it off Tokyopop.
In this sensational bestseller from Japan that inspired an anime, young Kino roams the world on the back of Hermes, her unusual, anthropomorphic motorcycle, only staying in each country for three days. Throughout their adventures, they find happiness, sadness, pain, decadence, violence, beauty, and wisdom—all in a strange and beautiful world. The more Kino tries to escape from each country, her past, and her gruesome reality, the more she must question the people she meets, herself, and her own behavior.
This eight-volume series, a critique on the inherent beauty of imperfection, oscillates between philosophical and winsome, while remaining consistently and overwhelmingly imaginative.
Very good book, worth checking out.Well thats really all for today...
Hope you have a nice evening and please comment!
