New book: The sleep I got the news that the new novel by Bernard Werber who has been the one of my favorite writers since I was young was published in Korean last week. Excited I ordered the book right that place. It was about dreaming. Like other novels written by Werber, the story was based on the scientific facts regarding dreaming especially lucid dream. I read two books in a day because I couldn't stop reading! I was totally facinated by the story! After finished reading it I wanted to try what JK did to develop his sleep and dream in the story. I downloaded an application which shows my sleep cycle and patterns. I'm gonna check my sleep habits everyday and try to have better one for not only having lucid dream but also developing my creativity. And I'm going to library next week to read books related to lucid dream. I'm so excited!

How do I improve my physical strength? As starting new job two weeks ago I have to get up so early in the morning. Even though I tried to go bed earlier every night during last week it didn't work at all. That's why I feel tried all day long these days. I should have worked out more...I think I need to do something to improve my physical strength. First of all, I should work out almost everyday. That's not easy at all. I try to walk 3~4 km a day when the weather is nice. Also, I'm planning to go hiking this weekend. Then, fresh vegetables or home made meals are really important part. So even though I'm such a bad cook I try to learn and enjoy cooking by myself! I don't know what else I can do more right now. Could you give me any advice?

The vegetarian. I read a novel which is 'The Vegetarian' by Hangang last weekend. Since I had heard that the writer was grant Man Booker Award with the novel I expected that the book might be so difficult, weird to reflect twisted human being or society. Turns out, it wasn't difficult that much(less than expected) but it was so dark and made me feel...kind of disgusted, gloomy. And I'm sure I didn't get what writer was trying to say exactly. Nevertheless, I'm willing to read the book again in the future because I think I will be able to understand people in the novel after getting old. About...35~40? The woman in the book was about that age and so does writer. After finishing reading the book, a clear image which was illustrated in the book haven't disappeared in my mind and I would like to draw it. It's a skinny woman who has flowers drawing on her body. If I would paint it with the watercolor, I can make it exactly how I imagine the woman.
