If you English fiction there are many place to go, but the most efficient in my opinion is to head to Wangfujing because there are two stores where you can find good English fiction in close proximity.

1) Wangfujing Bookstore: 218 Wangfujing Dajie (Before the McDonald's) Tel: 6513 2842, 6525 2592

2) Foreign Language Bookstore: 235 Wangfujing Dajie (further north of Wangfujing bookstore) Tel: 6512 6903

Hope you find what you are looking for.

I would actually check out the Bookworm. You can join up as a member and it works like a library. I find they have a great selection of books and sometimes you can find a real gem on the shelves. http://www.beijingbookworm.com/

Sequoia Café also does a regular book swapping event which is great for picking up books from other expats that may not be on sale elsewhere. They meet on the first Saturday of every month between 2 and 6pm.

Q: Can a Z visa holder do graduate studies in China while working?

A: Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside

A:Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
