Goodreads asked Ijen Kim:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Ijen Kim I never have a season specific reading list. I usually read several different books at the same time, currently in Spanish, Chinese and German - a collection of short stories by Uruguayan writer Mario Benedetti, a non-fiction work about Ming dynasty emperor Yongle, and a German novel about a time-travelling mandarin from the Song dynasty (ie, 1000 years ago), who ends up in 20th century Munich.
