Perry Link is always a good read, he wrote Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies: Popular Fiction in Early Twentieth-Century Chinese Cities. Even if it's rather old, it's still a basic academic book that dissects early 20th century popular fiction against all odds that are placed against it in China (i.e. of no literary value etc.). I guess you best get it at your library.
Many praise Shanghai as the city that transformed itself from a small fishing village to a metropolis. Marie-Claire Bergère shows otherwise, it is one of the best histories on Shanghai you can get.
I often had trouble understanding ancient Chinese society and how it worked. Mark Edward Lewis gives a very good introduction there, also written in a very nice style.
What I still want to read is Douglas (Doug) Guthrie's, Social Connections in China (2002), as it researches how guanxi works.
Soon there's a book coming out on "Leftover Women" by Leta Hong Fincher, which is also on my very long To-read-list.
"Factory Girl's" is worth a read indeed, I loved it (although the author's personal experience was sometimes interrupting the main narrative too much).
erikmyster, thx for the tips above, I didn't know the titles...
Can't tell if this is a joke post, but in case you are serious, there's this website called Amazon, and on it you can buy pretty much every book ever published, including the collected speeches of our revered leader, the general secretary of the Communist Party of China Xi Jinping ALL HAIL http://www.amazon.com/XI-JINPING-GOVERNANCE-English-Version/dp/7119090577/ If you are in China, you can find the English edition at any branch of Xinhua, and it's also all over Taobao for various prices (and various states of authenticity). After you've read Xi's "Little White Book" and contemplated his sacrosanct quotations and speeches, please do report back here with a review and interpretive analysis.
This was recommended on /r/China a few months ago, is one of the best books I've ever read:
