What Chinese literature do you enjoy?
Sun Tzu's Art of War /s
I enjoyed Romance of the Three Kingdoms quite a bit. It was legitimately entertaining! I would recommend an abridged translation.
I've studied some Analects / Dialects / Neoconfucianism in school, Tao Te Ching, and Art of War. Those had some useful ideas in them, but were not exactly a laugh a minute (although Tao Te Ching has some funny bits). Those last two are very short texts as well.
Still on my list: Bandits of the Marsh, Journey to the West, and one other I can't remember the title of right now.
