Latest Read

Just finished reading, "The Calligrapher's Daughter" by Eugenia Kim. Very interesting book and well written. I started it last night, read all but a few last chapters while waiting at Big O Tire for them to put on two new tires and do the realignment (about 3 1/2 hours) and then I came home, ate a late lunch and finished it. It is about Korea during the Japenese take over until it was finally liberated because of the bombing of Japan by the USA. I've read several book in the past year on Japanese, Chinese and now Korean nations and how they lived,ate,dressed and thought. This bigoted (not proud) American (me) thought they were all quite similar but most definitely they were very different in many ways, rice being the main constant in food and scarcity in meat similar. But how they seasoned their food made it very different. Anyway, if you can find it at your library, read it. It's hard to put down.
