Asian Lit in Translation discussion

I just picked up an older edition of After the Banquet which was a bestseller in Japan, and did alright here (as far as I can tell), and it reminded me of the failure that was my first attempt at an orchestrated group-read.

I welcome anyone to add the Asian books they want to read to the group shelf, and maybe in January we will have a larger amount to do a vote from to do our first group read. The other idea I think would work would be to start a thread for us to come together and find at least another person interested in reading the same book we are, so we're not reading alone, sort of a 'buddy-read'.

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving US-dwellers, and here's to a Happy Christmas!

I'd be interested in a group read, or a buddy-read, at the very least. I'm reading Thai literature right now, but I'd like to read some more Korean literature after I delved into Please Look After Mom. The only other Korean author I'm familiar with is Richard E. Kim, though.

Add any books you'd like to the shelf, I'll see if I can find some more Korean books as well.

I'd like to volunteer my to the shelf. It is my translation of selections from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
