The Berzerker posted:Is that this or am I looking at the wrong thing? Yes, it's a multi-volume book and has very strong cultural influences on East Asia in general; I prefer the Moss Roberts translation to the above link. To help you sort out the characters and get a better understanding of the long story, I've found, this specific case, watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8rkcJ5sYDI, a recently produced tv series, simultaneously while reading the books as well. It does make the process that much more time-consuming but made the book more vibrant. The book has a ton of characters and here, I really do think a visual aid is warranted.

The Berzerker posted:I appreciate that, though I can't imagine I'm going to watch a 95 episode TV series, on top of a 2500 page book, for just one of the 24 challenges in the Booklord this year. It could knock out 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17, 20, 21, 22 and parts of 1 and 3  .
