Guin Saga

Do you know the longest novel in the world, "Guin Saga"?

Guin Saga is a heroic fantasy that is written the process that Guin who has a leopard face becomes King of "Center Field". 　This novels have being written by a Japanese writer, Kaoru Kurimoto since 1979 to 2009. These series published about 160 books! But the story is so exiting. So you will want to read the next story when you read this book.

I met this series in 14 years old, and I had read almost books in this series. But the author, Ms. Kurimoto died without end this series in May 2009. I regret her early death and want to read a new book in this series.

Mardoch Scramble

This novel is one of my favorite books. There are many interesting elements in this novel.

Balot, a teenage girl was being killed by Shell, a dealer. But she revived because Eufcoque, a rat that had be made by engineer as a universal weapon and Dr. Easter, a mad scientist operated her. By this operation, she got special ability that blind field of vision by metal skin and remote controling on the thin of electric thing.

This is one of the best SF in Japan.

Flyby of Silence

I love "Flyby of Silence", SF short stories and the author because of his funtastic SF world. I moved deeply manytimes. This book has a great dream that human being should go out to the vast universe. In this stories, various people that have no relation each other encounter wonderful things. And these people change something. The people have no relation in this story, but if you read all stories, you will notice the author's optimistic massages "human being is not perfect, but it becomes it", "It is wonderful that human being advances to space".

I recommend this book as an one of the best SF in Japan.

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

This is one of my favorite books especially this novel's japanese title "Tuki Ha(wa) Mujihi Na Yoru No Joou". This novel was written by R. A. Heinlein, who is one of big three of SF novel writer. I read the book three times because there are a lot of fun in it.

Three men and one supercomputer plan to make the moon where independent of the earth in this story. The moon had been prison that sent the criminal, and their descendant in 2075. Manie was a engineer of criminal's descendant, and was a friend of "Mike" who was supercomputer of government of moon and had his personality. One day, he decided to resist the earth with "Professor(Bernardo de la Paz)" who was his friend, "Wyoh(Wyoming Knott)" who was a reader of independence movement and Mike.

A friendship of Manie and Mike is so great! Professor is very cool! Wyoh is pretty charming! Independence movement is exciting! War against the earth is thriling! Let's read this nice novel!
