Mike Wigal's "2011: (Mostly e-)Books Read While Living in China and Southeast Asia"

Add to my lists | Print this list

The past year I read the fewest books (79) since 2006. Now I’m living in China at least til August. English language print books are a rarity here, especially in the Wudang Mountains where I and my gf Cabrini are studying TaiJi and Kung-fu. Fortunately we have our trusty Barnes & Noble Nooks, which coupled with a Virtual Private Network allows us to buy books online. Let’s see what we can do!
