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?

DON'T DO THIS TO ME! I read the title and got all excited that JD had posted on the blog. And then my hopes were SHATTERED. 谢谢!!
