Chin to Han

Saw something about the Chin dynasty and Han dynasty last night. The Chin's built the Great Wall of China and the terracotta warriors and killed lots of people. The Han's created stablility and gave away beautiful chinese princesses to placate the Mongolian warlords. I also realised that I know more about the Bible than I do Chinese history.

Sanctuary

Just started reading Sanctuary by William Faulkner, roughly 5 years after studying the first few paragraphs for English Literature A level.
