“Let’s talk about books”: The Beijing Group currently has 46 members, 19 nationalities.
The Second Meeting – treasure sharing! was held at The Woodhouse, a nice cafe next to the book store “Page One” in the Sanlitun Village South (OK, they changed name but I never remember the new one!).

Thanks to Lily and Jing for the pics
Most of us introduced a favorite book. I went for “Why Men Marry Bitches” (by Sherry Argov), a book I think is so correct about how men think. It does not work as well for Chinese men but I used it several times to coach Chinese ladies trying to figure out how to deal with their (mostly) foreign boyfriends. A Chinese translation exists but the English version is probably best as some of the terms must be hard to translate correctly.
I just feel pity I have so many books waiting to be read. Time is short…
