Natsume Soseki - I am a Cat

I'm reading this book.
It's taking me a while to finish it, but it's been quite enjoyable so far.
I love the way the cat thinks.  His observations are honest and witty.
He's not at all shy about telling things as they are.  Humans could use
such a straightforward attitude themselves, no doubt about it.
Full of wit and wisdom, it's amazing how a book written so long ago
by a man from an entirely different culture as mine, could transcend 
all of these boundaries and impediments to strike straight into the true
nature of being human - from a cat's perspective no less.
Simply awesome.
