I’ve been approached by a few people in the last week asking about the books I’m using. I said I’d do a quick post to list the ones I’ve got once I was back from the spring festival break. Well I’m back, so here are the books. Note a number of them may be philosophical in focus.

古汉语常用词词典
　ISBN: 978-7-540-31066-0

古文语法　－　史存直
　ISBN: 978-7-101-04585-7

古代汉语　－　王力
　ISBN: 978-7-101-00082-5

文言文启蒙读书　－　杨振中
　ISBN: 978-7-532-62950-3

Classical Chinese Reader, Book I
　No ISBN. Too old.

A New Practical Primer of Literary Chinese
　ISBN: 978-0-673-02270-6

Those are the main ones, though I end up buying another about once a week. I also have a couple copies of the 古文观止, plenty of copies of 老子，孔子，孟子 et cetera.

There are also a few dictionaries around that aren’t mine but that I use. So no information on them in this post.

Suggestions? I’m open to other texts.
