Guest guest Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Dear Group, I don't know if you all are interested or not, but I think it would be great if we could pass around book recommendations for each other. For a number of reasons I am personally more interested in Chinese language books, but for those who don't read Chinese, English language book recommendations would, I imagine, be welcomed. For Chinese books we may run into the problem that Chinese won't come through on this , since every time I post Chinese here it doesn't seem to come through. In that case we could start an email list of interested parties and just pass the info to each other off list. I would be happy to coordinate this. Any thoughts? Best wishes, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 If you go to my website taiqi.com and click on the reviews you will get a number of English language reviews of books. I've been doing this for 10 years now if not more. It needs some updating but there are a few in there that you might not have heard of. Doug , " Greg A.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Let me note that your web browser should have a fonts called the character encoding section. In my firefox this is under View. The below seems to be unicode UTF-8 and it looks fine to me. If you write in this code and if you can set your browser to read the unicode then one theoretically all should be able to read and write characters. , mystir <ykcul_ritsym wrote: > > > > > > 是。æˆ`知é " ä½ çš„æ„æ€ > > --- On Sun, 5/3/09, Gabriel Fuentes <fuentes120 wrote: > > Gabriel Fuentes <fuentes120 > Re: Book Recommendations > > Sunday, May 3, 2009, 5:40 AM > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 So far there are a number of people who have expressed interest in the book/reading list. I think there are two ways that might work best, but am open to other suggestions. First, as I mentioned, we could do it via email. In this case, if you email me I will add your name to an email group and when I get recommendations I will forward them to the group. Another possibility may be to use the " Files " section on CHA's site, where it looks like we could create a new folder to hold documents that contain people's recommendations. I tend to think this is a better idea, but not sure it is ok with the moderators. Can the moderators please advise? Greg , " Greg A.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Sound like the files idea is a good one. Go for it. doug , " Greg A.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 and how come they sometimes carry into the emails, and sometimes not, where just the funny code appears? ann On May 5, 2009, at 11:31 AM, wrote: > > > I read and write with Chinese characters every day on my computer > and the > ones on the never come out right....I have the Unicode > setting > on my Firefox and I can not read those characters...Doug, what's up > with > that? > > Thomas > > > Beijing, China > Author of " Western Herbs According to Traditional : A > Practitioners Guide " > Check out my blog: www.sourcepointherbs.blogspot.com > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 If I knew the answers to all this I would either be running the Los Angeles branch of Baidu or running an internet Ponzi scheme. So it seems to me that the issue is one has to read in the code that was written. For example Jason's last post had three garbled words. I finally figured out that were GB2312 Simplified by trial and error. I assume that's what he was writing in. When I paste the 3 words in here I get the (跺贯妙). But I must convert it into GB 2312 before I copy it. But I've had problems even without the web where I've had to paste text into a text file before I put it into Wenlin for example.... And don't get me started on pinyin tone marks. Let me know if you figure it out.
