When I picked up the habit of taking long walks I also tried out listening to audiobooks. Since I don't physically have the books I felt they better belonged on a separate page.

Waste Tide was to be the first real audio book I would listen as well as the first of the genre of Chinese science fiction of the 21st century I would experience. The majority of the time that I spent listening to the book I was walking late at night through downtown Oakland and Chinatown. While the settings were brilliantly established, I found the characters were positively childish. Though, any time I walk downtown, especially on a rainy day, I can't help but think of the story.
