What is this tentatively you speak of? How about 2020?

Reading The Red Sorghum was like a roaring thunderstorm, while Waiting was like a gentle river in pacing. I wasn't surprised when Mo Yan was named Nobel laureate recently.

I should read
Red Sorghum, I've read a couple of other Mo Yan titles and enjoyed them. I've read a couple of Ha Jin books as well, but not
Waiting. Those are two books that have been on and off my potential reading list for a while. Maybe once I get through my challenges.
