Diary of a Madman

   Gogol is the master of witty short stories. I also recommend Diary of a Madman, in which a mediocre civil servant begins to imagine he is the King of Spain.

   True enough, I love reading Chinese literature (in English translation because my Chinese is extremely basic) especially loved Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" or Mo Yan's stuff like "Shifu, You'll Do Anything for a Laugh".

   But I hadn't really followed any manhua (Chinese manga/comics) until by pure luck I stumbled across a series by Xià Dá (夏达), she's created a really great manhua called 長歌行 or Cháng Gē Xíng (in Japanese Chouka Kou; in English sometimes called Song of the Long March). Her art style reminds me of Takehiko Inoue's Vagabond, her writing and characterization are smart and well-developed.
