I've just finished reading Oracle Bones by Peter Hessler, which traces his explorations of, yes, oracle bones, the politics of Chinese characters, the tribulations of Uighur asylum seekers in the US after September 11th, and the demise of traditional neighborhoods in Beijing.
It's a fabulous read. It makes me want to spend time in China, but even more, it makes me want to spend time writing about interesting things. I highly recommend it.
