@RealLifeReading #setinasia #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge Some of my set in Asia books. I live in China now and also lived in Japan for 4 years so I'm very interested in the culture, history and literature from both countries.

Cambridge scientist Joseph Needham loved China. He's the title man. This is a fascinating snapshot of a huge story.
