#91 - "The Tale of Genji" by Murasaki Shikibu

The Tale of Genji is considered the first novel ever written in the world, in 11th century Japan.  Does that make you want to read it?  How about if I tell you it's over 3,000 pages long ... written in the 11th century ... in Japan ... ?  Because my answer is "no."  I read three chapters, which I think gives me a good enough idea that I can't possibly care enough to commit myself to that.  Go ahead and judge me.  I'm moving on.
