What Chinese books are popular among foreigners? I love reading books. Recently I bought an e-reader and feel very convenient using it to read whenever and wherever possible. Today I suddenly realized that except for several science fiction novels, most of my books in e-reader are not Chinese books, I mean, not written by Chinese authors. That's interesting. Now there're so many foreign books popular among Chinese people, especially books about management, making money and children education. I wonder what Chinese books are popular among foreigners? Is there anyone who want to share with me?

Why do I study English Today, on my way home, I suddenly thought of a question which can be the topic of my 2nd article here: why do I study English? When I was in school and university, I studied English as I had to pass English tests, to get the certificate and to get a good job. When I started to work after graduation, I studied English as good language skills bring more career opportunities including promotion. And why do I study English now? Interest? No. Actually I've been struggling in improving my listening skills and spoken English, and it's really not a happy and interesting experience. But I 'm so interested in the culture behind English: it's history, it's ideas.They are charming. I want to get the feeling being able to go across different culture freely, and to open the door towards a totally different culture.
