One more recommendation: I would rather like to have all books in _one_ thread in alphabetical order. It is very difficult to tell wether a book is a history book or a general if it is both. I don't think the splitting helps to find the books for someone who is looking for a special book.

Your reviews would be more than welcome. I will be interested to hear about your additional books. I would guess many of them are in Chinese; I thought I had most of the available English language Great Wall of China books.
I thought about how to organize the books and I considered alphabetizing them. But I figured people would be looking for ideas on new books to read rather than looking for a specific book, so I decided to organize them by topic. You're right, it was not always clear which thread to use as many books fall into more than one category, like books with both photos and historic information.
If one wants to look for a specific book, of course they can always use
search.
A database or spreadsheet with columns for name and type as well as author and so forth would be ideal as the list could be sorted as desired. However, vBulletin doesn't offer this sort of functionality and I am not sufficiently motivated to write it myself.
