H-ASIA**********************************************************From: NGOWEN@hkucc.hku.hkSubject: Light Reading on Asia

For an MA course, I have compiled the following list, which I thought might be of some interested toreaders of H-ASIA. Its limitations are obvious: besides those of time, space, and general ignorance,there are books of which I have heard simply not available in the UHK library. I would, therefore,appreciate such corrections and amplifications as may occur to you, either direct to me(ngowen@hku.hk) or to H-ASIA.

This is not copyright, and although I've given some desultory thought to publishing it (much revised,with more complete bibliographic information) some day, that day is not near at hand. Anyone whowants to use it, therefore, may do so. If you use it complete, I'd appreciate your keeping my nameattached.

LIGHT READING ON ASIA: Some suggestions

Many of us studying Asia, besides reading the primary sources and scholarly works required in ourparticular field of study, enjoy reading more widely about the region, taking pleasure in the realizationthat what we are perusing will not wind up on an examination question or in a footnote. We find it arelatively painless way of gaining a greater appreciation of some of the diversity of cultures and his-torical experiences that Asia represents.

We have assembled, over the years, lists of books -- novels, memoirs, travel accounts, etc. -- that haveappealed to us in this way. Some we have read; many we have not, but hope to get around to someday. The only order here is alphabetical; we imply no judgment as to which of these are moreworthwhile [except that I've put an asterisk* by a few I personally most enjoyed], and we do notintend to slight any authors we may have omitted. I am grateful to Ron Hill, Paul Kratoska, andStewart Richards for contributions to this list, but they should take none of the blame for anyshortcomings.

These readings are "light" in the sense of enjoyable, rather than easy. Some are quite simple; othersrequire more background knowledge, vocabulary, or analysis to appreciate. You might wish to dipinto some of them to see if you enjoy them too. If not -- don't bother. There will be other readingsrequired for the course; don't punish yourself with reading for "fun" if it isn't fun!
