Botchan

[anjusan]

Has anyone read Botchan by Natsume Soseki ? It was such an enjoyable fun thing to read. I will certainly try to find a few of his other earlier works... such as 'I am a Cat' and 'Three cornered World'.

Not sure if I would like his later works which are supposed to be darker... like 'Sanchiro' and 'Kokoro'... but I would appreciate anyone giving me their opinion on the matter. ☝

I read Kokoro in high school and remember thinking "What a weird story." It is kind of a love story, and it influenced my view on life a little bit back then.

It has much quieter tone compared to Botchan, and it might seem slow at some parts.

Thank you, misa.j, I value your input and will seriously consider kokoro... Hopefully I can find a copy...
