A while ago I mentioned my struggle to get a job and joked about shipping myself off to Japan.
Well... about that... the joke sort of became... a reality.
What's great about my job, however, (other than my awesome kids) is that I am left with a lot of freetime between classes. I mean hours of freetime even after I finish making lesson plans and preparing materials for upcoming classes. And, I am allowed to read during this freetime (although I only realized it was okay, recentely).
My Kindle and I have become best friends to say the least, and this blog has become very active!
It feels great to have time to read again.
P.S. If you guys ever have any questions about Japan, feel free to ask! I may not have all the answers, but I can try.

That's absolutely amazing! How exciting that something you jokingly mentioned has actually being coming true for you! It must be great to both have a job but also have enough time to read after worrying about getting a job. I will definitely coming to you with Japan-related questions ;) Do you find yourself reading more Japan(-inspired) books?

@Nicole and Jillian: Thank you! I'm pretty stoked I'm actually here.
@Juli: I don't get paid the most, but at least I'm able to support myself and that lets a load off my back like no other @_@
As for your question, I think the type of book I really became interested in reading as soon as I learned I was coming over are memoirs of foreigners living in Japan. I like reading about how people deal with the clash of cultures. I've also been reading more Japanese Comics lately as they are much cheaper to buy here, more readily available and it's the best way to practice reading Japanese.
