                                             This was a really eye book about modern day China.  Rob Gifford an NPR writer travels Route 312 across China.  He meets a whole array of interesting people.  In parts of China he is the first Caucasian some people have ever met.  China Road is a very interesting read on the people and country who will be the next superpower.
