Breaking News…

Kodansha just sent me their Fall 2007 / Winter 2008 catalog. Wow. I still write ‘06 on checks.

とにかく, I learned today Giles Murray is coming out with a new bilingual reader this Fall called Exploring Japanese Literature. Many of you have his Breaking into Japanese Literature book – and if you don’t, you should! (I would recommend it for Intermediates up) Apparently it is in a similar style with Japanese on the left, English on the right and a running gloss at the bottom. There isn’t any information at Kodansha’s site yet.

If it is anything like Breaking into, it will automatically be on my top ten list of must have books for studying Japanese.

See Giles Murray’s site for more.
