Yes, I could not survive without a library of books and time to read some of them.

I am lucky that I have lived in two countries to teach English - China and South Korea. Awesome experience!!! One day you might get the chance.

My eldest daughter read it 2 years ago and she still has it and doesn't want to give it back so by her passion for it, it is now hers.<br />When still a child I asked my mum how she chose my name and she said 'from a book' I said 'but mum I have never seen you read a book' she replied 'It was a knitting book'. She showed my the picture and it was so like me. I asked how she chose my second name and she replied 'it was from another knitting book.' :D<br />My dad was the non stop reader and he shared what he read and I and my siblings grew up with a passion for books. Books become your friends. Your home is not complete without them.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17835288502471212968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657205173192367626.post-79793709379578426372014-01-06T11:02:15.057+10:002014-01-06T11:02:15.057+10:00Great topic!

I could also relate to your love for books about China. Also an English teacher overseas, I well remember the paradox of reading a book about China while teaching in Egypt! Thanks again and enjoy reading!Amy Bovairdhttp://amybovaird.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657205173192367626.post-24012234514192396612014-01-06T09:30:00.060+10:002014-01-06T09:30:00.060+10:00I have never lived in a foreign country.

I majored (many years ago) in cultural anthropology in college and these types of biographies would make good reading if my interest returns to that area. Right now, my reading is mainly restricted to the YA dystopian genre (and blogs on various topics), but "never say never".
