爱和人的关系也许就像鞭子和被抽起来的陀螺

Ten Loves, by Zhang Yueran

Random rec from off an mp3 blog (!). The good (or alarming, depending on your view) thing about Chinese lit is that if one googles for it chances are one will find the entire text online somewhere. The author is studying comp sci at NUS wahahahaha too amused. No, I didn't sit here and go through the whole book, but I read the last story (宿水城的鬼事) and rather liked it - it's the type of thing that's up my alley, though I've seen it done with prettier language.

I'll finish the responses to the 'ship ramble meme once I finish reading everyone else's. >D

EDIT -- I now have 50 gmail invites. Does anyone want'em, for cripes' sake?
