A somewhat surreal kind of thing to read. ( )

An interesting book about many different aspects of the Chinese language. Accessible to the non-expert. ( )

I really enjoyed reading this book! I loved learning how the Chinese pictogram language evolved and I also learned a few Chinese symbols along the way. I read it on the plane on my way to Beijing. I work with people from China every day and it has been a great way to help learn about their language and some of their culture without actually learning Chinese. ( )
