re: #307 Barefoot Grin

Great stuff! Thank you. I did not know about the documentary. I’m a fan, too, so I’ll be reading and listening and watching the birthday presents along with him. Hemingway is a good call. I may do Soseki’s Botchan since he has Japanese heritage.

Natsume Sōseki! I am a Cat! :)

He needs a copy of the The Tale of Genji too. That’s probably better a year or two down the road but it’s an excellent story too.

Though my favorite bit of Japanese literature remains “The Narrow Road to a Far Province” by Basho.
