Let me tell you; it is not easy to get this here in the States. This album and a Japanese group have been giving me endless problems. As it is I do not yet have an actual hard copy of this cd but soon! I hope.

Why I recommend "Eight Skilled Gentlemen"

Eight Skilled Gentlemen

by Barry Hughart

Hughart tells the story of Master Li and Number Ten Ox just how a very long winded story teller would. His story is immersing and very different from anything else I’ve read here. But, read the first two books before this one.

Why I recommend "Story of the Stone, The"

Story of the Stone, The

by Barry Hughart

I think this was my favorite book of Hughart’s because I really liked the character of Moonboy.

Bridge of Birds: A Novel of an Ancient China That Never Was

by Barry Hughart

My dad actually recommended this book.
So, naturally, it took me six months of procrastinating to read it.
I loved it. I love how Hughart weaves the story in a traditional-feeling vernacular. Very much fun.

The King of Attolia

by Megan Whalen Turner

I ordered this book from Amazon along with The Queen of Attolia but this one came first. I still hadn’t read Queen and I have no willpower so I had to hide it in my pantry until the other book came.
That’s what you get for buying “Used and New”

Queen of Attolia

by Megan Whalen Turner

I almost couldn’t read this. I had to force myself and read through tears. Poor Eugenides! But, I suppose it all works out in the end.

Why I recommend "The Thief"

The Thief

by Megan Whalen Turner

I absolutly love this book. I have read it multiple times, and each time I find new things to enjoy.
