Yes, you are seeing that picture correctly – I finished reading The Tale of Genji over the weekend.  I’ll do a final post, database entry, etc later in the week, but for now I just want to bask in the glory of finishing an epic book.  Now I’m going to spend a week collecting my thoughts and trying to condense a months worth of reading in a few thousand words….

Done!

Quick aside – considering the numerous characters, titles, and interconnected relationships in The Tale of Genji, I’m also considering putting together a few tools to help anyone who wants to read it. More on that if I actually have the energy to compile the necessary data.
