Someone told me about this novel, but I've never read the novel before. When I checked apple movie trailer, I found out movie's site. I wish I can read the book, but maybe before I read the book, I'll go to theater.

I truly hope you get to read the book before the movie. It is a classic and one of a few that I've read more than five times.

It doesn't get any less funny the more you read it. It is very "funnily" written. (Big Shout Out to Queen Lisa!)

Kenji, do yourself a favor and read these books as soon as you can. Hopefully the humor will transfer over into Japanese effectively.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Thanks for the "funnily," Jim. Just so's you know, I keep track.

Lisa, you mentioned about this.........?

Hmmm.........I can't translate funniest lines to Japanese! English language-pun and Japanese language-pun is completely different. For example, do you know this Japanese language-pun?
"Hey, my neighbour made a fence."
"Wow, that's groovy!"
Maybe(definitely) you won't feel funny about this joke. But this is typical Japanese language-pun. And, this is very old joke.
BTW, what is "Dadgumit" ???

That translates quite well, Kenji. Corny, but funny.
Assuming it isn't a panel fence, of course.

Fence and groovy, If those words translate to Japanese, it's "Kakoi".....(I know, it's corny. Sorry.... :o )
