I picked up
Capote today at the 10 yuan ($1.33) movie store down the street. I'm in love with it thus far. I was fortunate enough to have read
In Cold Blood while on the forty plus hours of trains last week and it easily is one of the best books I have ever read. If you are looking for a distraction from academic text, pick up
In Cold Blood. It will make you love reading again. All too often I find myself disliking words because of some stale class text, but I've found having a book on the side to read a little bit at night always helps. Did you know (Nelle) Harper Lee and Capote were life-long friends? I love learning of connections between people that I've been in the dark about my whole life. It makes me appreciate their works even more for some reason.
I want Japan more and more everyday.
While in Harbin and Dandong I took a healthy amount of pictures and instead of bombarding you with a million pictures at once, I'm going to pick out my favorites and highlight them over the next couple of days. I'm going to try my hand at titling them, as well. I'm feeling creative.
Picture of the Day:
'Not so China'
