Having recently reread Anchee Min's Red Azalea and finished another title of hers, Becoming Madame Mao, I took an interest in communism and Mao Tse-Tung. I've a copy of Mao's Selected Military Writings of Mao Tse-Tung from my East Asian Military Traditions class so I've been reading selected passages here and there. It's a rather tedious read, as you can imagine, and I much prefer Sun Tzu's The Art of War, but once you cut through Mao's ego it's not too bad.
For lighter fare I keep my copy of Golding's Lord of the Flies at work for slow lunches and Anchee Min's Wild Ginger on my nightstand. Oh, and assorted manga, too.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
