I'm really liking this! It starts off with the Courtesans section which is really interesting but the story they chose to put first was a good choice! There's nothing as funny as Edo Japan's sass. Especially when at one point the courtesan was talking about her sister and saying, "at thirty [she] still dressed up like a spring chicken (49)." It's too good xD

I'M DONE WITH THE INTRO!! Man was that long! It's definitely worth reading, especially if you don't have a background in East Asian Studies. I'm excited to get into the book now! I have a feeling this will be a nice way to get into Edo literature~

All I want to do is read the piles of books I own but I forget how long it takes just to read one... I wish I could read faster!!!

Trying to get through the introduction. It's really interesting and it's filling the holes of what my classes tell me, but it's just kind of long. I'm reading the intro in pieces and I'm going to start into the book! I'm excited!

I wish I had more time to read! I've been going through books so slowly!

Even though the writing could use a little more work, I can see there are some strong ideas but sometimes they get lost in repetitive and kind of strange wording. I'm kind of glad I started with the tv show because I feel I'm able to appreciate it more than if I hadn't.

Just figured out how people make status updates here~

For me, this one is starting to pick up the pace and more interesting things are happening that are grabbing my attention.

The writing isn't really the best. There are times where the same ideas are brought about many different times and it gets a little bit annoying.

I still love this series though! xD

I'm actually making progress with a book!

I can't believe I have to write something on this...
