My son started reading a novel I gave him for his birthday last year, and he said he wanted to read some more. So, I got very excited and &#8230; well &#8230; the Amazon delivery man is very busy these days.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve tried to remember some of the books I enjoyed reading when I was his age. One of them was a fantasy series called the &#8220;Belgariad&#8221;. I owned it in English, where it was two big books, and then I found it in Japanese where it was five!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-10-at-12.04.21.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1145\" src=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-10-at-12.04.21-644x616.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"644\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-10-at-12.04.21-644x616.png 644w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-10-at-12.04.21-300x287.png 300w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-10-at-12.04.21-768x735.png 768w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-10-at-12.04.21-1536x1470.png 1536w, https:\/\/shin-ai.wakayama.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-10-at-12.04.21.png 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think Japanese people find this smaller size of book more convenient to carry and read, especially on a busy train or bus. Sometimes the books I like to read are one book in English, and three books (\u4e0a, \u4e2d, and \u4e0b) in Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the weather is perfect during this time of year.
