China Challenge!
September 1, 2009-September 1, 2010Jennie of Biblio File is hosting this challenge to learn more about China.
Here's what she says about it:
Here's what she says about it:
We hear about China all the time in the news. It has one of the richest and longest literary histories in the world. It's a huge and changing country, and there are a million books out there to enjoy. In order to help us understand China, join the China Challenge!
Okay, I know I am in too many challenges but I have to do this one. Besides, there are many different levels of participation and I plan to do the easiest one:
Armchair Traveler: Read 1 book about China. I'm defining this pretty loosely, but the majority of the action should take place in China. For the sake of ease, places such as Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Taiwan count.
See, easy! In fact it's so easy that I think some of you, my blogging friends should join the challenge. Come on, you know you want to. All you have to do is click on the lanterns about to go to the challenge.
I haven't decided which book I will be reading for this yet but I'll update this post when I decide.
Here's what I will read:

I joined this Challenge about 3 hours ago. I will read 5 books. To me it is a great Challenge as we live only one hour from China.
I posted my reading list at rereadinglives.blogspot.com
looking forward to reading your posts

I'm overbooked literally, with too many books I've promised to read, but couldn't resist the China Challenge! I may start off with The Uninvited, already reviewed by Mel U.

I just reviewed Waiting by Ha Jin, for the challenge. I heard that the book is being made into a movie.

Book Bird, I didn't know that book is being made into a movie. It wounds good.
