The "Must Read" if you want to learn to paint from life. BTW, you get colorful pictures of Richard's work. His amazing brushwork is so delightful! ]]> UserQuote91985516 Sun, 05 Jan 2025 23:43:00 -0800 <![CDATA[Qin Cai liked a quote by John Green]]> /quotes/489138

All the four novels of Sherlock Holmes are fascinating, among which "The Hound of the Baskerville" is the most outstanding IMO. I am a bit distracted by the side stories of suspects in the past than the deduction by the master detective at the current murder scene, in the three others. ]]> ReadStatus8784139688 Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:15:19 -0800 <![CDATA[Qin started reading 'Catch-22']]> /review/show/7106650145 Catch-22 by Joseph Heller Qin started reading Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

The books reminds me of so many grown-ups, yet so few little children in this world. Thanks to the author of both his wonderful writing and illustration, I re-pick up a purity of appreciation of essentials in values, not the numbers. ]]>
