Proof of heaven
I've read this book due to the high evaluation in amazon market, and this reading is for my study English as well. It contains about 200 pages, and it took 1 week or so for me to finish reading.
Speaking of Japanese context, it relates to spiritualism or experience of near-death, which also abbreviates NDE written in this book. If it is written in Japanese, I will never read it because it's too mysterious for me.
The writer is indeed neurosurgeon doctor and he had been dying because of meningitis. After the coma status for several days, his consciousness was returned!
For almost all people, the experience of near-death is uncommon, and I cannot judge how to treat these events.
I'd recommend this book, if you want to feel strange feeling like "What is consciousness?".

Lonely Planet around Tokyo
The other day, I've purchased Kindle Paperwhite from amazon site in Japan.
Then, I completed reading the following book, whose title is "Lonely Planet around Tokyo". They say that this series "Lonely Planet" is famous for foreign travelers, and this book is my first reading for me with the Kindle. Actually, there are other series for Japanese travelers like "How to walk in earth(Chi-kyu-no-arukikata)", "Rurubu traveller".
In this book, we will find Japanese geographic, history or other cultures. What I'm interested in is a chapter of "Food and drink." As I usually cook in my house, there are some descriptions like O-kome, Miso and Shoyu, which are Japanese traditional condiments or Izakaya, Syokudo and how to use chopsticks. Even we, Japanese, don't know the detailed explanations in this book. So, Japanese will be surprised, if foreign people know this kind of description:)

How Starbucks Saved My Life
The other day, I've already read this book, whose title is "How Starbucks Saved My Life." The author dismissed his jobs after 60 years old, and he began to work at Starbucks coffee shop.
The reason to choose this book is mainly for my study in English. This book doesn't need so many vocabulary, and I'd like to recommend it for people who would like to improve their English reading skill.
In the middle, the author communicates his daughter about his job, and he was shocked at her criticism.. It seemed to me that it is much typical family father... If it is written in Japanese-mother language-, I won't purchase it because it's easily imaginable. I might give a book once-over...
