What book would you like to snuggle under covers with, and why?
"Through Hayao Miyazaki's popular animated series, I got to know Joe Hisaishi and his stirring music. The Music Diary of Japan Musician Joe Hisaishi allowed me a peek into his world of music. It had me amazed yet touched, through his attitude and take on life and music composition. Joe Hisahi shares about life and the creative arts using interesting exchanges which will definitely open up a new window of thought to the reader. I passed this book to Wern Fook and after reading it, he too gave it the thumbs up. This is indubitably a good book which you will never get tired of."
