Learn Japanese @ Japancast.net

Ok, I’m not recommending this book at all. I’m just amused by it. It’s in “English”, so you’re not going to learn any Japanese from it. I’m just stunned by the full title of this book:
How to Good-Bye Depression

Part of the book description:

In addition, he also can have burned a strong beautiful fire within his abdomen. It can burn out the dirty stickiness of his body, release his immaterial fiber or third attention which has been confined to his stickiness. Then, he can shoot out his immaterial fiber or third attention to an object, concentrate on it and attain happy lucky feeling through the success of concentration.

If you don’t know concentration which gives you peculiar pleasure, your life looks like a hell.

And one of the reviews on Amazon says:

While I’m inclined to believe that both Castaneda and Nishigaki are both lunatics who need to be institutionalized, I didn’t buy the book to learn about the healing effects of anal-clenching; I got the book because it looked like a good laugh.

The content of the book doesn’t really justify its price, but some of the mangled “Engrish” is REALLY funny, and I absolutely love the horrified looks on my roommates’ faces when they bring guests over, only to discover this book lying on the coffee table.
