the premise: a group of 20-something girls decide it would be fun to mail their favorite books to each other in an attempt to be well-read...it's like being pen-pals, only passing on a letter that was written by somebody else...

I've been trying to think of a haiku to express my response to wild swans.
instead i think i will write one about my experience of reading this book...a metanarrative if you will:
five hundred pages
lotsa chinese history
skimming was involved
ok i couldn't resist...this haiku thing is addictive! so here is another one on wild swans.
communism = bad.
foot binding = very bad.
strong women survive!
um, let's see. i will have to meditate on a haiku. how about.
i only read half
the book but the parts i read
were interesting.
okay. that's a lazy haiku. more when i'm feeling insightful.
i will say that everytime i picked up the book to read it, i would feel oppressed, and since i'd just read brick lane, it made book club kind of a downer.
