It's above average, I thought harshly of it at first, but it's one of those books that keeps you thinking about it even after you've finished, whether you liked it or not.

I skipped the footnotes as well, they're basically little tidbits of history written from the author's perspective that don't really add to the story.

Jules Verne is comfy to the extreme. I remember reading 20 000 leagues when I was 10. At one point Nemo asks one of the main characters "How well do you know your history of Spain?" I don't know if it translates well in english (and I am making a very personal lecture of the text) but "your" history of Spain was a kind of wonderful revolution for me. This Nemo man lived in a submarine and expected (french) people to know the history of Spain! Of course it was only extraordinary to a 10 year old french boy learning the basics of the basics of french history, but I think this intellectual interest that was showcased in this scene of the book was one of the things that kept me reading and got me interested in history and literature.

Five Weeks in a Balloon is still my favorite.

Gomenasai, my name is Ken-Sama.

I’m a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)

I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!

I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Japan!

Your expectation sequence is the exact opposite of mine. I thought it was going to be a sort of tragic romance but the whole "love story" was just a front for the hollowness of the American dream.

Their love wasn't even really that genuine if you think about it. Can you name one thing Gatsby said he loved about Daisy aside from her beauty? All he says towards the end is that he loves how "her voice sounds like money." Demonstrating how Daisy is the final fashion accessory to make him feel like he's "in with the Old Money."
