I am reading Botchan now. It is a nicely written straightforward account of a young man's disillusion of the world that grossly differs from the one he was taught to be a part of. The author, Mr. Soseki is also insanely funny in his observations of some of the ridiculous characters he comes into contact with. What I find the most touching was his outlook on his theory of give and take in relation to respect and honor of another person.
