The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu 1177 pp.
This is one of the books selected for the adult summer reading discussions. It is a book that had been on my "to read" list for many years but its length made me keep putting it off. Kara's commentary is excellent and I don't have anything to add except that it wasn't quite what I was expecting, although I'm not even sure what I expected. I do enjoy Asian literature although this is the first I've read with 1000 years of age on it. I'm glad I finally crossed this one out of my "to reads".
