Is anyone interested in putting together a book club?
Since I got to Kunming I've been basically reading everything China-related that I can get my hands on. I thought it might be cool to get together and share insights, etc. My personal bias is toward history-related stuff, but I'm definitely open to mixing it up.
I just bought Turbulence, a novel by Jia Pingwa, and Chan's Great Continent, a history of Western depictions of China by Jonathan Spence.
If you are interested, send me an email (jaredrhall@gmail.com). I'll be in town teaching through July and will return late August for language study.
