I agree, it was never a chore, I absoluterly loved it. There are differeces between translations which can make a version easier to read than other.

Still, it's absolutely worth it, even if it takes years to actually get around to reading it. I completely understand – there’s a reason I waited 2 years after buying it to actually read it!

The size still scares me sort of, but now that it's on my radar, I'll think about putting it on my to-read docket at some point.

I figure that if I can get to the low or mid 70's by the end of August, I can ease up some for the rest of year. I'm trying to keep a good balance between fiction and non-fiction, and that has worked pretty well so far. Good for you for aiming for 70 -- that's more than I got read last year!

I don't have a specific number in mind - I'm just trying to read as much as I can! If I include audio books, though, I'll probably read around 70 or so by the end of the year.

That's quite an accomplishment. I'm impressed that it kept you entertained the entire way through. Since I'm on a goal to finish 100 books this year, I don't think I can make time in my schedule for The Tale of Genji in 2010, but I may have to try sometime later.
