Recent cops:
>The Fortunate Union
It's an old Chinese "Talent and Beauty" novel. It's okay so far. Not outstanding, but I see why it captivated the early European Sinologists.
>Mao Zedong - Selected Speeches and Writings (1956-1974)
Only got it because it was remarkably cheap and because I somehow get a perverse kick out of having it on my shelf. And it's also an interesting primary source I guess .
The only remarkable thing about this edition is that it was made for internal consumption of the Hungarian communist party, so it has no date, ISBN, price or even a publisher mentioned. There's a stamp in it that says that this is the 129th copy that was distributed.
>György Rába - Unfaithful Beauties
Book that evaluates the performance and methods of early 20th century Hungarian author-translators like Kosztolányi.
>Zhang Wei - Seven Types of Mushrooms
It's new and short. Supposedly a magical realist novel(la). I hope it's good.
I'll probably read it during a weekend next month.
>Sino-Hungarian Literary Anthology 1.
A bunch of bilingual pamphlets. I got it to try and improve my reading of Classical Chinese.
>Yu Zemin - Fishtank Made out of Paper
This one is weird. It's supposedly an intercultural bildungsroman of a Chinese immigrant living in Hungary in the 90s.
I got it in the hopes of finding something interesting, but I'm very afraid that the whole of the book might have an unbearable style. Don't know why.
The notes in the back and the foreword were very interesting.

I just started reading books again after not reading anything besides university-related stuff for 3+ years. I don't think I'm qualified to rate anyone. Anyway, I want to read a bunch of sci-fi books because I used to read fantasy stuff as a teenager. The Left Hand of Darkness was from the library and the other two books were recommendations by an old lady at my local bookstore who apparently has read every sci-fi novel in existence. She chatted my ear off, but I liked her. Both the library and the bookstore were missing a bunch of the stuff that I wanted.

I was transcribing the passages I’m referencing in the book I’m writing for the appendix, so I had to have all the books stacked near me for easy access. The art books are just there for inspiration and to literally block the view on sidewalk level so I don’t see all the bums and faggots outside in my shitty neighborhood.
