Junichiro Tanizaki's Naomi is both a hilarious story of one man's obsession and a brilliant reckoning of a nation's cultural confusion. When twenty-eight-year-old Joji first lays eyes upon the teenage waitress Naomi, he is instantly smitten by her exotic, almost Western appearance. Determined to transform her into the perfect wife and to whisk her away from the seamy underbelly of post-World War I Tokyo, Joji adopts and ultimately marries Naomi, paying for English and music lessons that promise to mold her into his ideal companion. But as she grows older, Joji discovers that Naomi is far from the na ve girl of his fantasies. And, in Tanizaki's masterpiece of lurid obsession, passion quickly descends into comically helpless masochism.Binding Type: Paperback

A decent tasting Metamucil that does the job efficiently
Size: 1.86 Pound (Pack of 1)
The Metamucil powder inside does the job very well. I only need to take once a week in to maintain a consistency of bowel movement throughout the week. The flavor is decent as well. It doesn’t overdo so that I feel a good balance.

Easy way to add collagen to your daily fiber
Size: 1.86 Pound (Pack of 1)
I find taking a lot of supplements boring. I do take Metamucil daily. Even though I eat a lot of salad and fruit, I find this is a helpful habit. The flavor is a bit different but not objectionable.

This stuff works great. I take it twice a day. But it is so expensive - not sure why.
