Some of the teachers are planning a book club, and if you like, you’re welcome to join. It is intended for strong BE students or higher, and will probably meet on Friday afternoons. We don’t have a specific time yet.
The first book we read will be “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint Exupery. The book is about 1000 yen at Tsutaya. Don’t buy it until we find out how many people are interested; we might be able to get it at a discount, or cheaper online. If you want, you can find the book now and start reading it.
It’s not a difficult book to read, and it has been translated into many, many languages so it’s possible you read it before — in French or in Japanese. It has also been made into a movie, but I don’t recommend it. I saw it a very long time ago and I thought it was awful.
The book is a simple story, but it has a lot to do with how adults see the world, and how children see the world. It’s a very nice story.
When we have a time and a location for the club meetings, we will announce it in class. I hope it matches your schedule.
