Do you like that novel?
#miss

Yes, very much. Actually when I was a high school girl, I read this novel, Little Prince. Since then it is one of my favorite ones. Recently I reread the novel, and discovered profound truth or wisdom I haven't known before. I think it is because I greatly matured in real society. Have you had such experiences?

Yes, I experienced the same thing. So what particular wisdom you learned in that novel?
#miss

Well, I can't express well the deep wisdom with any words. But I learned more what the most important thing is for inter-personal relations, how we should think of various things in the relations, and what precious is. Why don't you read this novel? It's a fairy tale for adults.

Okay, I'll try to read that then. I am interested in classic novels more than the recent ones.

Oh, are you? Me, too. What are your favorite classic novels? Actually my majoir in a university was Japanese literature. I think Kinkakuji by Yukio Mishima is awesome. He was a genius who wove myriads of Japanese vocabularies. In foreign classic novels, East of Eden, Les miserables, Gone with the wind, Ah, I can't tell everything.
