Looking for more books to read. I think I've grown past playing RPG video games. I usually play them for the stories, but movies are a lot shorter, and books have better dialog.
So, where should I look, and what am I looking for? I just remembered The Past and the Punishments and thought I should either pick up another Yu Hua book (maybe To Live) or just a book of short stories. A couple warnings to anyone interested in reading The Past and the Punishments: it might take some background in Chinese lit. or history to appreciate, but, more importantly, it has more than a handful of grim and grotesque moments. I remember I let Ling's gf Jing read it, and after an hour she came back and yelled at me for not warning her. I think she continued and finished it anyway, but I don't think she slept much that night (because of the book).
