The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens - Sean Covey
Damn .. have to say .. the ways of the orient sure are different from ours.. still reading "Genji Monogatari" of Murasaki Shikibu .. it has 54 books that now are 54 chapters ..
Anyway as i was saying .. Genji sure is different from our Don Juan .. he cares for the woman even when they are old .. other thing is what is enjoyable to them at that time .. the ways of the woman her talent to say poems, play the koto and her hair .. (look at those japs now .... pervs =P ..)
Go for it .. like the nobel Yasunari Kawabata said .. "Genji in particular is the highest pinnacle of Japanese literature. Even down to our day there has not been a piece of fiction to compare with it."

Awesome. interweb only.
217 Babel Street | Introduction
217 Babel Street is a web of interconnected stories set in a seaside apartment block. There are twenty apartments in the building. Each of the four writers works independently of the others, starting off stories from different rooms. New pages are produced by creating a link from a word or a phrase on a page that already exists. Writers can interrupt and take over each other’s stories, taking them in different directions. Month by month the narrative changes, expanding into new rooms, characters and situations, creating new pathways for readers to explore.The front door
FRONT DOOR allows access to any of the apartments, where the different stories begin. All characters mentioned in a given episode are listed at the bottom of the page. Clicking on these character links takes the reader to a page describing the character, as well as a list of all the pages in which they appear.
