A journey's end

A few minutes ago, I finished Jawaharlal Nehru's The Discovery of India,  and completed my Discovery of Asia series, or challenge, for 2017.   My goal was to read two books per month on Asian history or culture, primarily Indian and Chinese,  and despite being three months behind in the late fall, I made it!   I'll post comments for Nehru's work in the coming week, and still owe myself a proper summary for This Brave New World.   I'm not finished learning about Asia, however; this was just a breaking of the ground, an establishment of a foundation I can build on later.  I already have some future reads in mind.  For now, however,  it's time to relax with coffee and a piece by Ravi Shankar, "The Discovery of India".
