東京鉄塔...by Lily Franky

東京鉄塔...老媽和我，有時還有老爸  is a novel written by a Japanese author, Lily Franky.  Very interesting name, he's an artist, writer, designer.......(www.lilyfranky.com)

I read this novel translated in Chinese yesterday, cos I was really angry, sad and depressed, and I can't sleep, so I spent 3 hours and finished reading this book (I've read half of it already), so you can see this book is really a very good, attractive, funny, also very heart-warming, touching - novel.  I think this book has been made to movie in Japan too.  The story is about a man's relationship with mother, sometimes with father, a union happened in Tokyo, a city where he found so called "home".  It can really touch your heart, can't stop putting it down once you read it.  Here are some quotes I felt very meaningful (sorry, Chinese only):

"口袋裡有一百塊不是貧窮，分期付款買的LV錢包裡只有一千塊才貧窮得可悲。"

"因為老媽一個人把我養大的，老爸雖然有時侯會照顧我，.....有些重要的東西是無法用嘴巴或用金錢來表達的，有些重要的東西只能用時間和行動來表達。"

"老爸的人生看起來好像很宏大，老媽的人生連十八歲的我看來都覺得很微小。那是因為，她把自己的人生切下來分給我了。"

"小孩真的可愛的時間是小時候，真的只有很短的時間。接下來，長大了就開始說一些自以為是的話，說什麼都不聽..........也有的時侯會覺得，生了這個孩子真好。養孩子就是在那種心情和麻煩的事之間來來去去。"

"所謂希望，不能說是原本就有，但也不是不存在。就如同地面上的道路一般，地上不是一開始就有道路的，然而走的人多了，路自然就走出來了。"

Reading bring me knowledge, peace and happiness!
