These are some of the images you get when you google Strange Stones and click on "Images".
I am more interested in the book of that title by Peter Hessler (tucked in between photos of interesting stones). River Town, Hessler's first book still sticks in my mind as a great read, about his years in the Peace Corps, teaching English literature in a teacher's college.
This book, a collection of essays about his continued time in China with some pieces on America, has been an equally interesting read. I think my favorite one is called "Walking the Wall" about The Great Wall of China, which, as I found out, is not one wall, not visible from space, and still continues to engage my imagination (what with my fascination with history and architectural ruins).
