Book Crazy! & Traveling to Anhui
Well I know it’s been a long time since I posted. Work has been taking up a lot of my time – I’m working on the cover story for the April issue and that’s going to involve a trip from Anhui. I leave tomorrow and return Wednesday.
The one thing I have been doing with my free time is reading a lot. I’m currently in the middle of James Fallows’ Postcards from Tomorrow’s Square but at the same time I’m also working on John Pomfret’s Chinese Lessons and I’ve just bought a few more books today.
Why I don’t know. They just seem to fill me with a lot of hope. And I know that sounds silly but they’re helping me to chill out during a very busy time right now.

Hang in there buddy, everything will still be here when it slows down.

I read ‘Chinese Lessons’ a few years ago. I liked it. It actually put that little seed of a desire to check out Nanjing in my head that eventually led to me moving there. It was interesting to see all the places he references.

Thanks for the encouragement and the comments guys. The story went well – apologies for being so late to reply. I’ve been too busy to give the blog the time it needs.
I’ll post a link to the story when it goes online.
