My Trip To China

Ok, its not as cool as JD and Justin's but this is a trip to China we can all take by heading over to Amazon and buying a copy. I read about "20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth" in BookPage two weeks ago and decided that I should pick up a copy and see what the hype is about. The book is less than 200 pages so though I haven't got my copy yet (it gets to NH tomorrow and I am in ME) I hope to have it done by the time I get off the train in PA on the 17th.

Anyway, you should head over to BookPage and read the review and I'll tell you what I think in a few weeks.

Question: Other than Art of War and Confucius what Chinese Lit have you read? Sort of sad since a third of the world is from China right?

NYC

So I just want you all to know that before I refused to write on the blog because I wasn't traveling...now, after traveling, I'm not writing on the blog because I am just too lazy.
