Congratulations!
Yes I do. Many of my students don’t have laptops or tablets
I was going to suggest that it is the version Goethe would have written if he had enjoyed a Southern California winter… but it turns out it is a Canadian production so we can’t blame it on the weather….
That’s great - too late for this round (exams next week)- but I’ll keep it in mind for the future
Actually had a terrific discussion of this book in my East Asian History survey class yesterday while events were still unfolding. The timing was impeccable (the book works well even without an attempted coup for emphasis). Thanks @ryanestrada.com
It is clear that my students, curious students- instead of reading for pleasure or reading about something that interests them go on YouTube and watch video. If you only read when you have to reading becomes about pulling the right answers from a text

This is one of the places that the book doesn’t engage with the literature which is a major criticism not only from Qiao but also Reed and Kelliher
Yes, she is evading a central issue. The palace/secret memorial system was created to resolve the the problem of the throne being flooded with routine communications. So considering whether or not it worked is central to the argument she’s trying to make.
Is there a critical mass of people here? 🤔
