The middle and late Tang period ushered in a new era for China that would last five hundred years, yet it is also one of the most rigidly misunderstood periods in history. A corrupt court? Powerful regional governors carving up the realm? Foreign enemies bullying the empire? Bitter factional strife? Is that really all there was? No. Suzong returned, and Consort Yang died; Thoug

Only Good Books Count! A Veteran Reader's Reading List
A reading list from a longtime bookworm. A good book is one you can keep reading and that has substance. That’s the truth. I’ve been reading for over a decade, and I’ll subscribe to and follow a book every day if I like it and it suits my tastes. If it’s not my cup of tea, I won’t follow it at all. Every book on this list is one I’ve personally read and enjoyed enough to keep. The genres are varied and eclectic, but they’re all good, engrossing reads.
