ひきつづき横文字本とにらめっこ中(2冊目の1巡目)。なのだが、最中に縦文字本への禁断症状が噴出し、つい日本語に頭皮…もとい…逃避して軽めのものをまとめ読み! どれも随分前に買ってあったものだが、ようやく積ん読棚から順番がまわってくる。このタイミングでこの3冊をまとめて読めたことにラッキーを感じる(あと、ちょいと前に読んだ本山美彦『金融権力』を入れてもヨイ)。…外国のせいにしててもしょうがないし、まして日本のせいにしててもしょうがない。手をつけてみるとおもしろいことはいろいろありそうだ。ユーフォリックに進むべし。むきむきー。

藻谷浩介『デフレの正体』(角川Oneテーマ21、20100610→20110205(16刷))…リンク先が大々的です。
宮台真司『日本の難点』幻冬舎新書、29900415→20090430(2刷))…宮台さんの本は『権力の予期理論』(出てすぐに買いました)以来2冊目。…ブルセラ本も読んでみようかな。
関岡英之拒否できない日本』(文春新書、20040420→20050415(7刷))…ウェブ公開されてる資料を使ってここまで書けるというのが大事(藻谷さんのも)。

 たとえば、日本人は日本人論が好きだけど(というコレ自体が日本人論)、その内実は実際のところ何が核になっているのかなんてことを考えるためのヒントを見つけられそう。なんとなくさっぱりしたところでまた横文字本に戻る。

Hello
It is with profound respect and humble submission, I beg to state the following few lines for your kind consideration. I hope you will spare some of your valuable minutes to read the following appeal with sympathetic mind. I must confess that it is with great hope, joy and enthusiasm to write you this mail and I believe by the faith that it must surely find you in good condition of health.

My name is Stella Jimmy Lemi Milla, Sudanese citizen, female, age 22 years old. I`m the daughter of Late Mr. Jimmy Lemi Milla, who was the Minister for Co-operatives and Rural Development in the government of autonomous Southern Sudan. My father was shot dead inside his ministry building along with his bodyguard in Juba on February 9, 2011. I lost my biological mother long time ago, when I was just 6 years old and since then, my father loved me so dearly may he rest in peace and may the great God give him a safe entry in Paradise. Amen.

Before the death of my father, he told me that he made a fixed deposit of the sum of Four Million, Five Hundred thousand United States Dollars(4.5Million USD) in one of the Banks in Burkina Faso with my name as his next of kin. I have traveled to Burkina Faso to clear the money but the Bank manager told me that my refugee status is not authorized by the laws of Burkina Faso to clear the money. He advised me to appoint a trustee.

Now, I am Soliciting your help for transfer of the money into your bank account and investment assistance in your Country. I have suffered lots of set back as a result of my parents death. I left Sudan because of incessant family feuds. Presently, I am living in Ouagadougou,Burkina Faso. Hence, I want to settle abroad to continue my studies and spend the rest of my life. Please consider my request as my life is being hugely affected .

Thanks a lot in anticipation of your prompt response.
Yours sincerely,
Stella Jimmy.
