A book tastes bitter.

I've read a book about Japanese pre-war ultra-nationalists.
It tastes bitter.

Because a certain kind of fanatic man, Minoda Muneki, had something.

Of course, I'm democrat. On the other hand, he was against democracy. He and I are not the same at this point.

His ethnocentrism and anti-academism are very easy to understand. I don't agree with them. But we can see such discourses in a certain kind of major magazines in Japan.
