The four classic novels of China are
1.Dream of the Red Chamber
2.Journey to the West
3.Water Margin
4.Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The poets Li Po and Tu Fu are generally considered the greatest Chinese poets of all time. Why not read a book by one of them?
I know this is not decent to say,but which one of these books can be easily read online?I know which one I want to read,though...I just haven't got the means to provide it right now...
You forget that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence: and the kingdom of heaven is like a woman.

It is a fatal miscarriage, so ill to order affairs, as to pass for a fool in one company, when in another you might be treated as a philosopher. Jonathan Swift
I got through a fair bit of that one a few years ago and wouldn't recommend it in this case. The writing style is quite archaic, LOTS of generals and people to remember (over 1,000 I believe) and is divided into several volumes, none of which make for light reading. While it's an absolute necessity if you really want to get an in-depth look at Chinese literature and mythology, it really wouldn't be suitable for our purposes now. Dunno anything about the other 3 though.

I'm tempted to join. I would love to read a Chinese novel, but I'm still reading The Name of the Rose. Perhaps if I can finish, but I won't vote.

I have not read many female authors and feel guilty for it, but I'm happy that Buying a Fishing Rod for My Grandfather is in the lead. I planned on reading it, win or lose, but I'm glad I might have company.
