Dang. I need to learn about dragons.

Specifically, Asian ones. Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian, various regions within and around all of the above.

Yes, this is because of a Thing. Anyway, I'm doing my own homework, but if you happen to have a favorite resource about dragons in the places west of here, do please plug.

Borges' Book of Imaginary Beings (here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Imaginary_Beings) or here (http://www.borges.pitt.edu/vakalo/zf/html/preface.html)) has nice little summaries about the Chinese, Eastern and Western dragons.

I love that Borges goes off on tangents like nothing else in that book, but it is the best quick resource on the world's mythic animals I've found.
