We started listening to a book called Snow Flower and the Secret Fan at the day job. About a Chinese girl in the 1800s; foot binding, arranged marriages and arranged friendships.

I heard most of the first disc, and it was pretty good. Unfortunately, it looked like it was going to get a bit graphic in the second disc and they decided to stop listening. humph. (And today we listened to Tick Tock by Dean Koontz, instead.)

But everyone is still thinking about the Snow Flower book, and someone looked up a web page that had photos of a old lady's bound feet. Whoa, freaky and sickening! I might have nightmares tonight!

But yeah, I've decided to get the book and read it for myself.
