Hi folks. It gives me a kind of warm fuzzy feeling to report that this thread is serving a purpose I never would have imagined! A very close family friend (a Japanese Canadian woman ins her 70s) is recovering in hospital after surgery for a brain aneurysm. She's not yet able to read or watch TV. I've been trying with some difficulty to find some suitable books-on-tape for her when I remembered this thread. I brought in my laptop and she enjoyed one of the short stories and was surprised both by the technology and that it was in Japanese. She typically lives and reads in English, but understands Japanese from growing up in Japan and family life.
Here's the favour I'm asking: if any of you are familiar with any of the stories in this list, I'd be grateful if you could let me know if there are any which you highly recommend or any which you would suggest avoiding for this particular listener (i.e. save me some embarrassment).
Many many thanks
