Hi all,
I think we just invented another style of book discussion, which is known as "七嘴八舌". I love it because it requires minimal monitoring on the convener's end, and it encourages creativity, free associations, sincerity, fun and authenticity!
Let me thank you all for weaving your stories with Wang Lung and O-Lan's stories. I learned a lot.
Helen, we missed you and thought of you throughout the night. Thank you, Xiaoying for doing lots of background preparation and keeping us on a higher thinking ground, Thank you Alice and Xiaokang for letting us tasting your master bakery, and Hong and Kim for 板栗 and crackers. And let's thank the rest of us for eating up the goodies and being our very comfortable selves!

I cannot wait for our next meeting.
Mothers and Daughters, what a topic!
I've got couple of ideas already!
That is good. Me too. But we have to wait till we go through 败家子们分家 :-)
btw, Pearl Buck's 三部曲, House of Earth which 包括 The Good earth, Sons and A House divided. Hope this will clear up any confusion.
I glanced through the two remaining books of this series. I read them too quickly to fully graps the details. I look forward to presentations about those two volumes.
水竹，老牛，重任在肩啊。
