I agree with your assertions about 1421. China is a relatively foreign subject to me still, but I am waiting on a biography about Mao to come in the mail and looking forward to reading it. Are you going to Pitt for the MLS? Good luck!

I enjoy cataloguing for the most part, but I do not come to the detail and precision of it naturally. Good luck with the MLIS.

Hello there. Glad to see you're on your way to your MLIS. I hear that Pittsburgh is a fantastic city to live in so I hope you have fun. Re: Henry Petroski...I have enjoyed the few books of his that I've read because of how accessible he makes engineering to the lay reader. You might be interested in his "The Book and the Bookshelf" - it was a fun cultural and engineering history. A little bit of a stretch maybe to be book-length but still fun.
