Kinda forgot this thread is a thing.

 

Finished Water Margin a couple weeks ago. My version got pretty typo-y towards the end, mostly in the last 500 pages or so, but I think that was mostly editor fatigue. Aside from that, the translation was solid. Li Kui and Sagacious Lu are the best.

 

Currently have a few books lined up to read (actually have them, just need to read them).

 

I Am A Cat (Soseki Natsume)

The Setting Sun (Osamu Dazai)

Kokoro (Natsume Soseki)

Memoirs of a Geisha (Arthur Golden)

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (Haruki Murakami)

 

Probably going to go with Memoirs of a Geisha first.

I Am A Cat (Soseki Natsume) ???? O.o

 

Currently reading H.P. Lovecrafts original unadulted version.

 

I heard the sales for that went up like 3000% on amazon.co.jp when haiyore nyaruko-san came out

 

EDIT:

Wow thats amazing XD

 

By the way, that "3000%" thing was just an exaggeration. I don't know the actual figures or anything.

That picture shows the top-selling books on amazon.co.jp and the red line is one of the Lovecraft books. The numbers on the left are its place (with #1 at the top) and along the bottom is the date.
