Enough to want to discover a new culture. I could not get many recommendations from people I know for books set in Japan. So if you [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hotcupofcoffee.wordpress.com&amp;blog=600013&amp;post=253&amp;subd=hotcupofcoffee&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
