February meant Chinese literature, and coincidentally, the Chinese Literature Challenge which I discovered this month as well. I'll continue to work on the Chinese lit. books each month and post them on the sidebar as I continue on. I also got back to work on the crime fiction series by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö featuring Martin Beck and the Stockholm homicide squad. I'm currently beginning book 6, Murder at the Savoy, and luckily still have 4 more to go before the series is finished. That will be a sad day; these books are some of the finest crime fiction novels ever written. Anyway, here's my month:
Chinese literature:
War Trash, by Ha Jin
To Live, by Yu Hua
The Vagrants, by Li Yiyun
Dream of Ding Village, by Yan Lianke
Three Sisters, by Bi Feiyu
