    Great guy, asked him for book recommendations about China/its revolution and he delivered. Books in question were:

    Edgar Snow: Red star over China

    Jack Belden: China shakes the world

    Theodore White and Annalee Jacoby: Thunder Out of China

    William H. Hinton: Fanshen: A documentary of revolution in a Chinese village

    He also said that any Peter Hessler book was fine. I've only just started Red star and I'd recommend it.
