Hi. I'm the engineer Kawashima.

Many of us non-sta members love books, and someone’s recommended book talks often appear on the Slack chat tool channel.
However, since the tastes of members are basically not covered by them (laughs), the content of the books introduced is quite different; from practical business and technical books to topical human documents, pure literature, manga, and foreign literature two hundred years ago -- this talk started to pile up more and more and there was a voice that "This would be no shape if it were only in-house."

That's it.
I would like to share with you the books that non-sta members are reading.)
May you help me find a good book?

My first book is a recommended book by Kawashima, an engineer who writes novels.
In the past, we will introduce you from among what has flowed to Slack.

Ashra K. Le Gwynn

Do you think fantasy is childish? No, I don't think so.
Written by Le Gwynn, daughter of a cultural anthropologist, the Gedo war chronicle is dedicated to revering and imagining life in a foreign country.
And writing a world that is not anywhere is an act that refers to the universality of “people” from a perspective away from the real world (whether it succeeds or fails), and I think traveling around Earthsy, the stage in the Ged War, is essentially the same as traveling through our world.
Aside from precautions, it's recommended because purely as a story is interesting.

Tove Janson, a sincere scammer.

Janson is often taken up as the author of a Moomin series, but there are many other novels that excel:)
This is a story about the exchange between Anna, an old woman who has no doubts in the north, and Katri, a vividly sincere young lady. Catri sees every lie, flattery and exploitation that Anna believed to be, as well as her own goodness. But Catri can't remain unharmed before Anna.
Long winters in the dark, frozen air and a brisk tension throughout your work... It is surprising to see how different you are from the Moomin series. But if you take a closer look at it, Yanson’s familiar irony and gentleness come up with his eyes, and he has an unparalleled sense of shape.
There is no clear answer until the end, and it's like a crystallized question "What is honesty?"

Jared Diamond: Guns, Bacteria and Iron

For those of you who have found "Sapiens Complete History" interesting, this book is recommended as one of the following books: it's a classic human history book that has been made into a masterpiece and archived and available in most bookstores.
Why is modern human society like this? In response to a question thrown by the New Guinean named Yari, author Jared Diamond tries to answer with an enormous number of pages. It seems as if thrilling suspense novels are going up and down from hunter-gatherers' age through 13,000 years, taking advantage of knowledge in geography, geography, language, history and anthropology.
The first edition of the original book is 1997, so there are some old references but I think it will be perfect for deepening understanding of world history and human history. Shogo MATSUOKA's thousand books of nights It's very easy to read, and I would also like you to criticize it.

It's a strange feeling to write about books that are not related to business in the company blog ... .
but the ideal for nonsta's way of working The Work-Life Harmony: "Work Is Shining When You Live." If you think about it, that might be a natural thing.
I think that what we call culture and liberal arts—the ability to read, think about, and spread our world beyond the environment where they were born and raised—are two circles of expertise in their daily work, even if it is not clearly visible.
