My treat to myself came in the mail. One of my favorite books and Subterranean Press did a limited SIGNED hardcover run back in 2008. Hughart passed away in 2019. I randomly went on eBay the other night to see what his books go for, since I have an older edition, and found this. $175+S/H but so worth it. My bookish heart is so happy and boy did I need that pick-me-up. Ginger would like to know how many cat treats $175 would have bought instead!

... the abbot of our monastery always said that fable has strong shoulders that carry far more truth than fact can. — I'm having fun reading this book

#booktober Day 13: Number Ten Ox is the #bestsidekick. An amazing trilogy of a fantastical ancient China that never was.
I first read this book when Asian representation in SFF sucked, so was very happy to find this book, even though the author was white. It's written in a classical Chinese style, and is laugh out loud funny. Still a favorite to this day.
