    <about><![CDATA[I'm a history phd student in NY, studying Japanese colonialism in Taiwan and Korea. I was formerly a political science phd student. <br/><br/>I read (or used to read a lot of) Japanese literature in spare time, but I don't have enough time for fun reading these years. I am using Goodreads as a book archive mainly for my studies. <br/><br/>I grew up randomly reading 江戸川乱歩、Agatha Christie, 灰谷健次郎、吉川英治、有吉佐和子、山本周五郎、池波正太郎、夏目漱石、川端康成、遠藤周作、大江健三郎、三島由紀夫、Françoise Sagan and others. <br/><br/>]]></about>
