我没有时候写中文．我写晚上．
Jane Austin, "Northanger Abbey"
Wilkie Collins "The woman in white"
Thomas Hardy "Jude the Obscure"
Han Suyin "A Many Splendid thing"
Cao Xueqin "The story of the Stone"
HG Wells "Love and Mr. Lewisham"
Evelyn Waugh "When the going was good"
William Makepeace Thackery "The Virginians" and "Memoirs of Mr. Charles J. YellowPlush"
"Tales of Ancient India"
"Ancient Myths" Norma Lorne Goodrich
"Mythology of the Ancient World" edited by Samuel Krammer
"The Elizabethan World Picture" by EMW Tillyard
"Official Guride to the Anthrolpology National Museum of Mexico" A nice outline of who lived where when but without as many pictures of the actual exhibts as another guide book I have from the same museum!
"A social History of England" by Asa Briggs. When I was doing my history A-level I read another book by him and he became one of my favorite English historians so I was very happy to find this especialy as it's usually $20. I already read the chapter on the Victorians and it was very nice.
"London in the Nineties" by Collins. A lovely book full of very late victorian pictures of London, very neat. Some pictures were really great and I may have to figure out how to post them to the victorian list I'm on.
"The First Cities" and "The Neanderthals" by Time Life figured it would be interesting and they had some neat pictures.
"Cradle of civilization" part of the Great Ages of Man series by Time Life, full of history and stories of Summer and Babylon. Very neat.
Chinese Books:
I only bought one book in simplifies Chinese 桂林山水．(Though I think that might be the wrong gui it was as close as I could find!) But it's a lovely book with pictures of different mountains, rivers and caves in China. A lot like landscape painting but photographs. It seems to be written as a travel guide saying where everything is, what it's called, and has poems and inscriptions that people wrote while they were there. Very neat.
I bought 3 Chinese books for very young children which I could just about read even though they were traditional characters and learned the valuable lessons of cleaning up my toys, not sticking my fingers in doors, and asking for a turn.
Two neat looking Graphic Novels about Buddhists which I can't read yet but perhaps in a couple months, also in traditional Chinese.
7 kung fu looking novels. Also traditonal charcters, a series of 1-6 and a number 1 of 1-4. I figure next year hopefully I'll be able to read them and they were 50 cents each so I couldn't pass them up.
A tri-lingual book about Beijing opera.
Reading Chinese Vol 1-3, and the book they put out to go with them "The Lady in the Painting" which is a retelling of a nice Chinese Fairy Tale in only 300 characters so I should be able to read it as soon as I've got the rest of the traditional characters figured out!
And lastly another text book "Beginning Reader for Modern Chinese" which is nice to have as another resource for grammer and extra vocabulary. (And makes now my 6th textbook I have for introductory Chinese!)
It was a very good book fair!
