So, recently I am into trying to read Gamebooks and choose your own adventure type books in Japanese. I think they are a lot of fun and good pratice. You end up starting over often so you get to re-read a lot, (and I always understand more the second or third time thru), but it stays fresh, since you can always take a differnt path and explore somewhere new in the book.

Anyways, I just bought this book this week, and am really enjoying it...

Its a challenge, but pretty interesting. Good story, nice descriptive language, and some new and unusual kanji.

So I checkout his website, and he has a mini game novel posted there!

Its kind of cool to read with rikai-chan and grab a few sentences.

If your into it, check it out!
