好多斷 links.. 唔知會 link 左去邊度呢？

"??" means not sure what it will lead to, or I still haven't started..

Boldtype means they are or they have the potential to be my favorites..

It is a shame that I have to discover 林語堂 through a Westerner, although historically it was like this too.. not that I never heard or saw his books, but it is how it is, I just never pick them up..

and I guess it is mildly surprising that I finally decide to read the Bible someday later..
