To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers.
I'm still reading Ben Wilson's "Metropolis" as I've been very slow this week and I ended up reading almost nothing.

Still on Journey to the West, a bit over halfway. After a huge introduction of the Monkey King he's taken a bit of a back seat. Definitely more episodic than current fiction tends towards.
Also the last line in the chapter that gives the monk's backstory is fricking wild. For context, at the end of the chapter every wrong has been righted, murdered men brought back to life by dragons, blinded grandmothers made to see by having their eyeballs licked, villains crucified or cut into small pieces and thrown into a river.
"And as for Wenjiao: Wenjiao quietly committed suicide after all."
Wenjiao is the monk's mother who had just been reunited with her entire loving family.
