Day 6 - A Nap or Drunken Stupor - not sure which

Just a simple sketch today...Recently I've been reading 1421 by Gavin Menzies. Though the Publisher's Weekly review poo-poos his claims that the Chinese may have discovered North America nearly 70 years before Columbus, I find the idea pretty compelling. I'm partial to fiction and this is purportedly a history book, but it feels more like history-lite. It's a fairly breezy read about the Chinese empire, powerful Eunuchs, ocean navigation and the piecing together of artifacts and research in the spirit of a detective novel. What I really like about the book is the series of Chinese line drawings at the beginning of each chapter. They're simple, yet have a lot of character and humor in them. Good stuff.
