Let's Read Chinese!

So I was shopping at Family Mart the other day and saw this novel. The title and cover art attracted me, and since I've been looking for a good book to read for a while now, I figured "hey, $6, why not." Yesterday I bought it and began to read a bit, but discovered something missing.


Today, armed with sticky notes, pencil, exacto-blade, and nciku.com, I proceeded to note the words I didn't know. The first page didn't look so good for my chances at understanding and being able to enjoy this novel. The second page was a bit better. I'll try to keep everyone updated as I progress -- at this point, I'm quite intrigued by the novel and I'm understanding it pretty well (with nciku.com handy).

I've uploaded a picture of the first two pages for everyone to have a chuckle.
