Features: Reading often allows one to enter a state of relaxation, a state of strolling. Holding a good book in one's hands, one can wander at ease, stopping or proceeding as one pleases, engaging in dialogue—dialogue with the heart or spirit of the wise. Walking with the Wise is a reading journal. The author, Hong Zhu, claims to enjoy reading with the attitude of a food connoisseur—both discerning and sensitive; both calm and passionate; both hungry and striving for excellence. In his view, good books are the masterful culinary creations of the wise, offering a grand feast for the human spirit. Therefore, from the perspective of a modern intellectual, he has compiled a list of books, hoping to form a small "garden basket project" for our spiritual lives.
