I am now reading my favorite author, Haruki Murakami’s “Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman” in English language. The translation is very good, and it is always fascinating to think about how publisher’s decide which Japanese book to be published in US, and which US books to go to Japan. I did a very quick search on Amazon.co.jp site, just out of curiosity . Here are couple of books by Obama that went over to Japan: Dreams from My Father and Audacity of Hope. Hillary has Living History translated in Japanese. But interestingly, nothing show up when I type in Romney, McCain or Huckabee. Here is one by Giuliani: Leadership . He also has one about him: Rudy. More interesting, I found a book by Dennis Kucinich. Very interesting.
