Does anyone read it, The Notebook, yet?? This is one of the bestseller books in the US. And this novel’ is made into movie, Kimini yomu monogatari (君に読む物語), in Japan, too. I heard that this movie is pathetic story. But in fact, I don’t like this kind of movies so much because I want movie to be more excited or nervous one, like action, SF or Fantasy movie. And I think, to see the movie like, TV screen is enough size, and I don’t want pay 1500 yen. But anyway, I don’t want you to jump to conclusion. I like moving movies.
Why I tell about this story without watching this movie is that I heard this is the best book for foreign book’s beginners. It isn’t so much thick, large alphabet and easy to read!
So I’ll decide to read from tomorrow!
The NOTEBOOK by Nicholas Sparks

Yes, I read that book when it was a bestseller a few years ago. I thought it was rather sentimental, kind of like "Bridges of Madison County". Remember that? But it's a moving story. I was talking to someone the other day who said that it was very popular among men here in Japan. I thought that was an interesting comment. Typically (stereotypically?) women tend to like sentimental stories more. But Japan seems to be in a "sentimental love story" boom now thanks in part to the Korean drama craze, perhaps?
Anyway, I agree that it is a rather short book and an easy story to follow, so I think it would be a good book for English reading practice.
