Having seen the series first, it certainly enhanced the book for me. Like I said on GR, if you liked the series and are thinking about a rewatch, try the book. It’s close, but there are a few variations that keep it interesting.

Bought a chessboard for Xmas and been playing the young ones while studying up on http://Chess.com. Takes me back to Gr 8~9 in the GSS library! 🤓

Like I said in my review, I am actually on board with how they did the show. I prefer Townes from the show, and I am glad they left out some of stuff that happens at the orphanage. Also, I think the end scene with Townes gives me more feels in the film compared to the book.

Yesterday the Mayor basically declared the outbreak over (though constant vigilance!) and apologized over island radio for the city staff who had gone to a banquet and contributed to the outbreak.

Great episode. Dynamic and engaging interview with @aliciaturnerbur. She showed me that it was more than a bio. The book was already in the pile, but now it is zooming to the top. Anti-colonialism + pan-Asianism + Buddhism!? I am smack in the middle of that Venn diagram 🎯 https://twitter.com/DhammalokaU/status/1301093943447359489

Anyways, I had the great fun of being grilled by about 40 students, a large portion of whom like: fishing 🎣 video games 🎮 watching YouTubers 📺 & manga/anime 🦸♀
Teaching language through a mask sucks! Worse is not having any native speakers to benefit from. 4/4

Katsumoto is a super picturesque fishing village of historical significance. Here are a couple of previous tweets about the place:

Due to Japan’s ban on incoming foreigners there is a shortage of Assistant Language Teachers. Last year’s crop of ALTs rotated out last summer but were never replenished in Aug like normal. The students are not getting a chance to practice their English skills with natives. 1/4

Egypt is intent on growing 40 local “Japanese-style schools” to 100 with JICA funding. It is just 1 of 20 countries adopting this style of education… and extending Japanese soft power https://twitter.com/kyodo_english/status/1351707469140029443

You mentioned “classics”. Last year I finally read Ishiguro’s award-winning “Remains of the Day” and I can confirm it is lovely! It has romance and comedy, is not a difficult read (good for winding down) and if you like audio the performance is top notch. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50719140

Are you looking for funny? Social commentary? Genre? Let us know a bit what you are in the mood for. Also, will you read in text or audio?
This is How You Lose the Time War was probably the best book I listened to last year. It has lots of feels, is short, and audio is great.

@sstrangio thanks for the RT. Finished the book last night. Quite enjoyed it! It has meshed with my other research and thinking quite well. I especially appreciated your conclusion about BROADENING vs NARROWING options wrt to FOIP.

TIL (over the island broadcast system) that today, January 18th, or 118, is the day of the emergency number used to report incidents and accidents on the sea to the Japan Coast Guard.
https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/118%E7%95%AA
110 gets you the police, and 119 gets you fire brigade or EMR.

Currently working on a piece that rhymes the present moment to the era of Bandung Spirit, and how Japan might benefit now as it did then, by engaging SE Asia and acting as a hedge in lieu of the US. Can Japan lead on climate, inequality, and other points MV raises for the future? https://twitter.com/jagowriter/status/1350280176660213760
