The intense summer heat continues, but recently we've had some pleasant days, and we can feel autumn approaching little by little. Speaking of autumn...it's the season for reading. How about reading one of Shimaji's books during the long autumn nights?


Shimaji : "Even though I'm a late-blooming newcomer writer, I've already published more than 10 books. It brings me the greatest joy when people read them and say they're interesting. If there are any books you haven't read yet, please do. You'll laugh."

At Salon de Shimaji, we introduce books written by Ms. Shimaji, as well as magazines in which she has serializations and books recommended by Ms. Shimaji.

Shimaji: "I'm confident that my books are interesting, of course, but the books I recommend are also interesting and educational. Please read them and learn. Studying is the most enjoyable and never-boring thing in life."

Autumn nights are said to be the most pleasant time of year. This year, why not spend the autumn reading season with some of Shimaji-san's recommended "interesting books"?
