Hello all. This is going to be my first book journal. I've read three books at this time, and I'm going to write about it one by one when I have time!
First one is "How to be an Alien," the author is George Mikes. (Actually my first book was supposed to be "Love Among the Haystacks," but it was boring so I stopped reading it.)
It's not really a story, it's all about foreigners and English people. If you read the book, you can see the differences between Europeans and English, like the way they think, things they laugh at.. They are just so different.
It's funny that the author who was from Hungary tried to write what he thought about English and it might be a bit rude, but a lot of people bought this book and said "this is amusing!" There are differences in the sense of humor.
Perhaps you can enjoy reading this book if you are interested in English culture. I like England but I realized that I don't understand their humor very much.. English comedy TV shows are funny though.
Hm this is not a good journal I guess, I'll do better next time!
English people like to think we are very funny and have a good sense of humour, better than Europeans. But maybe English humour is hard for Japanese people to understand at first!
