Reddit reviews The Corpse Walker: Real Life Stories: China From the Bottom Up

I know like 2% of Twitch audience reads books but I'm reading a book right now called Corpse Walker and it's all about crazy things that happen to some of the billions that live there.

I'm reading two books at the same time, because I'm weird like that.

The first one I'm reading is Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird chronicle. I've been on a Murakami kick over the last few months, and this book is probably one of his better known ones. If you want Japanese surreal weirdness in literary form, this is your go-to guy.

Also, I'm reading Liao Yiwu's The Corpse Walker: Real Life Stories: China From the Bottom Up. It's a fascinating series of interviews written by a Chinese dissident who, among other things, has been put in prison for his writings. These transcripts were smuggled out of the country and put into print a few years ago. As a whiteboy who doesn't know much about China, it gives a very interesting perspective on Chinese society that I wasn't aware of.
