As mentioned in yesterday’s announcement, I’ll post daily discussion threads around 9 pm Amsterdam time starting tomorrow (Tuesday 27 July), so please start reading today. Everyone is encouraged to read along, post questions, and join the discussions.
Maybe a silly question but what is the English title of the book, is it the Silence?; because on the link you gave on amazon it says: "the Elephant vanishes", but in the PDF it say "the Silence". Not to look anything up because I'm trying to read as much or better said as little as I can by myself. Just to know, the right title of the book. Thank you.
The Amazon title is the title of the book - a collection of short stories. The title on the pdf is the title of the short story that I've selected from the book and that we'll be reading together this week :)
I assume this books is yours, right? This is kinda off-topic but I have a question to ask.
Is there a website that you would recommend for buying books in japanese? I know I could just search, but since I'm inexperienced with these kinds of websites, I don't know any realiable place to buy from.
I always order from Japanese Amazon. It's reliable and fast, but I'm looking for more ethical alternatives. I'll let you know when I find something good.
Hi Will, I'm sorry, I don't know how to make an ebup out of this pdf. Having said that, I think you'll get way more out of this if you look up things by hand instead of copy-pasting words into a website that will generate a vocabulary list for you. It's much more arduous, but it pays much bigger dividends in the long run.

Thank you for your responding so quickly. I look forward to this challenge, due still very difficult for me.
You can do it! We're all here to help you out if there's something you don't understand.

Bookoff doesn't send overseas right? Maybe bookoff + some relay company.
I'm pretty sure amazon.jp sells internationally.
That's what I always use.
ohh understood. Thanks a lot, man!
In order to sentence mine the words I don't know, I would need the document to be in epub format. Would it be possible to get one?
