wushijiao Posted October 18, 2005 at 09:38 AM Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 at 09:38 AM Maybe it's a good idea to make 家 November's Book of the Month Club selection in his honor. Unfortunately, I haven't read any of his works yet. I've heard they are quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted October 18, 2005 at 11:31 AM Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 at 11:31 AM We read a few of his short stories, which I enjoyed, but I've yet to tackle Family. 永恒不休! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
