More progress on Strange Tales from Ancient China (recorded by Pu Sung-Ling, translated by Herbert A. Giles, published by Graham Brash Singapore). This is a read, not a reread. I bought this in 1990 and set it aside to read upon my retirement, and so here I am reading it and enjoying it immensely. Tales more exciting than Scheherazade's!

I'd been spending most of my life as a writer while looking forward to relishing the last phase of my life being what I'd always wanted to be--a selective reader!
