BR 1-08: Stranger Than Fiction


What happened to the man who jumped from the Empire State Building? What about the family who went to sleep in the wrong house? Can cows fly?


This book is consisted of many short stories. One story ends in one page, so it is easy to read. In addition, each story is funny. Totally I like this book. I want read it again.

BR 01-6: Forrest Gump

He's an unusual man: a footballer, a soldier in Vietnam, he meets the President of America, he goes into space - and his best friend, Sue is an ape!

This book is a human drama which depicts a half of life of Forrest Gump. His intelligence is inferior, but he achieves many successes with his pure heart and support from people around him. I'm sure that you will feel happy after reading this book.
