A Malayian business man asked me if we should study China together because him being Chinese he would not know China well. He were Westernized as I was, having been educated in Malaysia and England.

Zafon and Mozart
Without reading Ruiz Zafons' The Shadow of the Wind, I would never know about Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio :)

"Women are like an iron..."
Carlos Ruis Zafon in his novel The Shadow of the Wind (2004) writes: " The trouble is that man, going back to Freud [...], heats up like a lightbulb: red hot in the twinkling of an eye and cold again in a flash. The female, on the other hand, heats up like an iron, slowly, over a low heat, like a tasty stew. But then, once she is heated up, there's no stopping her."
