The topic of adjectives vs stative verbs came up in the discussion of today's lesson on 最低工资, so I did a search for 'parts of speech' and came across Learning Chinese : A Foundation Course in Mandarin from the

Chapters 1.4-1.6 from Wheatley, Julian K. Learning Chinese: A Foundation Course in Mandarin (Part 4) are available online, covering Stative Verb, Time and Tense, and Pronouns.

and as an afficionado of Haruki Murakami, I started reading 'Kafka on the beach'. I've been reading a number of his novels translated into either French or English, I figured that one isn't too difficult, let's see what the Chinese version would be like. I had no problem finding an online version, so much for 版权 (bǎnquán) copyright. So here's 《海边的卡夫卡》 from 村上春树。

in case anybody has doubts, I do know that Haruki Murakami is Japanese, I just can't read Japanese :-(
