Yesterday's Parcel

Posted in: 2021 posts | blog images | Books | Online Shopping Bag

This post was supposed to be published yesterday but got pushed back to next day (today) due to yesterday's post. Totally wasn't in celebrating mood after that post *sigh*

Received these two books yesterday. 

The brown-coloured one is "Pride and Prejudice" (obviously :P). The black and white one is "人間失格" [Ningen Shikkaku or "No Longer Human"]. Both are books that were translated to [Traditional] Chinese. 


Loved this edition. It's hardcover but palm-sized (which I like) so should be nice to hold while reading. 

Have always wanted a translation of "Pride and Prejudice" in other languages that I can read. Might want to get a Japanese version in the future. And French version too, if I ever manage to learn it back :D (Reading those French phrases in "The Gambler" is making me interested again)

Okay... 

So I might have not thought this through lol... 

Since these two are translated literature, they might be harder to attempt-read. Which is fine, I guess. I'm aware that I've been overusing "Which is fine" recently, but that's how I really feel. I already have the original "Pride and Prejudice" which I can refer to if I have to. "人間失格" is new for me. I can access the original version on Aozora Bunko. Which... probably doesn't mean much with my current lack of Japanese vocabulary.

I'll cross the bridge when I get there :P
