Summary of Naoki Higashida's Fall Down 7 Times Get Up 8

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 If I couldn’t communicate via my alphabet grid, my questions would go unanswered and I’d be sad about how little I understood. As it is, I was able to consult my mother about how she identified the rain by the sound alone.

#2 I have certain memories that leave a lasting impression when I see rain, and I have to put a lot of effort into distinguishing memory rain from real rain if I want to avoid triggering bad flashbacks.

#3 I have noticed people often use the words cool or hip when talking about clothing or fashion. However, this whole concept of cool makes no sense to me whatsoever. I do not understand why people would want to be cool when they can be themselves.

#4 I have compiled a few personal going out rituals: change into an outdoors outfit, put on a hat, clean my glasses and put them on too, check my belt, tuck my shirt in and so on. I always think that the daily life of the fashion-conscious, with all its dos and don’ts, must get really exhausting.
