Text and Ritual In Early China Edited by Martin Kern
This was a very lovely collection of essays about the importance of texts, the written word and reading in Han and pre-Han China. It was a fascinating look at primary sources, largely found in archological digs. It contained lots of excepts in Classical Chinese (very good practice) as well as the author's translation. I made copious notes and enjoyed it greatly. I would highly recommend it to anyone whose interested in early Chinese culture and history.
