Belatedly, we are reading Six Records of a Floating Life (in this edition) by Shen Fu, with the discussion scheduled for Wednesday, the 20th of July at 3: 00 pm central/4:00 pm eastern. All very official :p
The wikipedia page is stunningly useless (Shen Fu's page is marginally more informative, and is a decent gateway to cultural/period context if you link-hop), so the usual default for background information is a no go.
This is an intensely annotated index by a guy in East Asian Studies at Cambridge. A little in-depth to get through all of when you don't speak Chinese, but if you had any places where you were curious about phrasing/translation I'm sure he addresses it somewhere.
Feel free to comment with your thoughts or send them to me to post!
