String comment = "/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, go to /his/. If you want to discuss politics, go to /pol/. Philosophical discussion can go on either /lit/ or /his/, but those discussions of philosophy that take place on /lit/ should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer.

Check the wiki, the catalog, and the archive before asking for advice or recommendations, and please refrain from starting new threads for questions that can be answered by a search engine.

/lit/ is a slow board! Please take the time to read what others have written, and try to make thoughtful, well-written posts of your own. Bump replies are not necessary.

String comment = "hey /lit/, dunno if it's the right place to post this, but /sci/ recently died of typhus and i had nowhere left to turn

i'm learning chinese and have basically finished this textbook, skimming over the pronunciation/writing parts since i have no one to practice with. It taught me about 300 characters out of the 3000 commonly used in chink, i was able to assimilate them rather easily since every character was explained historically or otherwise

anyhow, i have no idea where to go from here, i still don't know enough to even browse the chinese web, i'd like another book that will teach me more characters the same way, how do i go about finding something that won't overlap with what i already no or be lacking in background and such ?

any and all suggestions appreciated, any squinty eyed anons weighting in will be appreciated";
