Red Azalea
I just finished reading Red Azalea by Anchee Min - a book about her youth in Shanghai and on a commune and then as an actress during the Cultural Revolution. The book was published in 1993 but I'm a bit behind on my reading. It's a moving and true story - well worth reading but what's remarkable is how she learned English in less than ten years well enough to write such beautiful prose. Makes me even more frustrated with my slow progress in Chinese.

I just finished reading John Grisham's new book, An Innocent Man, Murder in a Small Town. It is his first non-fiction. It will make you want to stay out of Ada, OK.
