Hi Good people,<\/p>\n
For the life of me I couldn’t find the earler Reading Circle postings\/comments, except for the latest by Ron Wie. The last thing I want to do in a discussion of books, is to be listed under ‘Fart Facts’…..interesting tho’ it may be.<\/p>\n
ELibrary costs and is tedious. Nothing like putting up your feet, relax in an armchair or better yet be in bed with, a good book. The libraries in S’pore are good sources and free.<\/p>\n
RonW if you are looking for a good classic book that pertains to our forefathers culture, hardships in China….then " The Good Earth " by Pearl S. Buck is a very good start. Very well and interestingly written. Its about a farming family and gives an insight of life and attitudes in China. It is no wonder why our ancestors left the Orient shores and sailed the 7 seas to look for a better life. So here we are alien, to our own kin in China.<\/p>\n
If its possible watch the {black & white} movie. Over the years I have read the book twice and the movie 3 times….I don’t seem to tire of them. They are classics.<\/p>\n
It sure beats reading a foreign Russian setting like " War & Peace " with its very long winded names that you cannot identify with after a while.<\/p>\n
Hope this is informative and encouraging. Anyone, with further input or books to recommend???? Do share………………..Happy reading…………Jie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
