Does anyone have any recommendations with modern Korean literature? I've enjoyed what I've read of Han Kang's work (The Vegeterian and Human Acts) and I'd like to know more.

Has anybody had a chance to start Vasily Grossman's Stalingrad yet? Life and Fate was one of the most impressive books I've read ever and I'm hoping to start this soon.

Just to change the subject a bit but I need some books by LGBT people for the forum book challenge if anyone can help us out.

One of Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley novels, or The Price of Salt (adapted into the movie Carol)

Nthing Virginia Woolf, try Orlando.

Reading david hinton's anthology of classical chinese poetry. Anyone else read it? I'm barrelling through it––the translations read as good poetry in themselves but they also come with great short primers on major figures and the Chinese philosophical tradition.

Hinton is great. I've only gone through his Li Po and Tao Chi'en anthologies but I loved them both.
