Yesterday, I found "Shirobanba" by the late Yasushi Inoue on the shelves of the city library.
"Shirobanba," "Natsukaso Fuyutoto," and "Kita no Umi" are autobiographical novels about the author's teenage years
When I was in junior high school, I loved to read these books when classes ended on Saturday mornings, buy ingredients for my cooking at the market, cook my favorite dishes, and eat them while I read the book.
Thinking back, I feel like I lived my teen years as if I were superimposing on the main character.
I think this book made me think, "Studying may be good," "School dormitory may be good," and "If I go on to higher education, I may have fun.
-----
I picked up "Shirobanba" and re-read the paraphrase, and was surprised at its "readability.
The length of phrases, the way line breaks are inserted, and the content of the character's dialogue in the story -- I was surprised to find that the book is full of the basic techniques of what is called "Ranobe" (Light Novel).
I also like that the books by the late Yasushi Inoue are "non-preachy."
The stories are developed without 'ups and downs' or 'shades of gray' and are easy to read.
-----
By the way, I recently wrote about "Mark's Mountain".
I have only one experience, a 5-day traverse of the Kita-Hotaka-Yari route, and then one experience of climbing Mt.Fuji.
Even so, I feel that the reason I decided to attempt mountaineering was that I was influenced by the late Yasushi Inoue's "Hokuheki(North cliff)."
It is enough to enjoy reading as a mere pastime, but the books you read as a teen are likely to impact the rest of your life -- maybe.

So, teenagers.
Perhaps teachers and parents have had the same experience I have had. Hence they might loudly repeat, 'Read a book.'
I know it sounds annoying, but "adults are 'creatures that feel comfortable just watching a child read a book.'"
Therefore,
"Drop a paperback book by Dazai or Akutagawa on the living room floor as if you were to continue to read it."
If so, your parents will be in a good mood -- maybe.
