Tyger, thanks for visiting and the recommendation! I’ve been meaning to read Mishima for a while now, as many people have recommended him. In fact, I almost read Confessions of a Mask for a book group, but somehow didn’t. Hope to get to one of his books next year. I love controversial books and author :).

Hey, vrey nice list. I envy you. I’m reading I am a Cat right now. It is awesome (I have 5 cats) haha. I am surprised you don’t have any books by Yukio Mishima on your list. He is a little controversial, but a very good author. I would recommend his book Confessions of a Mask or his short story Patriotism (which can be found online). He is a great author.

[...] I have read a few books about Chinese immigrants (most of them by Amy Tan), because it’s something I can relate to, but I probably have read very few books set in China by Chinese authors. Something I need to rectify. And apparently in this challenge, Chinese immigrants story don’t count. The majority of the setting must be in China (including Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Taiwan). Check out books I’ve read on China/Chinese. [...]
