I really love stories like this.

I think I love stories that's not based on today's way of life and time, but a more traditional way of life. A life when we don't depend too much on technologies, and all surrounded by sky scrapers.

'How I Live Now' really makes me look forward to life in countryside. Yea, it's not convenient and sometimes you need to walk or travel out of town to get something. But I love to walk and going somewhere far. I would love to be in a place where I don't have to stare at computer for more than 10hours a day. Of course I need computer�for my daily dosage of anime. But that's like my television. So I can probably do without a TV.
Well, I would like to work hard for my food like planting 'em.
I also like the�family life in the book. Maybe because I don't have this kind of tight knitted family bond. But I think it's fun to live together with people like that. Going down to the river to fish or swim, and picnic or go outing or just simply doing things together. That's... nice.

I would love to do something, like planting. It's fun to be out in the sun and... where the air is cleaner. Like a de scription which I think it's really suitable, to be "drowned in fertility". That's what I wish to have in life.

Of course what I meant to say isn't the kind of life whereby there's no electricity. In this book, you get nature and human living together. And relationships that's beautiful. I love the relationships and the settings of the story.
