The Journey to the West is a ten year #voyage snd a big Chinese classic.
Both book and monkey are hubbies property. He sometimes looks a bit like the monkey 🙊

The Spouse and I are buddy reading Journey to the West this year. 💕 (The unabridged and revised 4 volume Anthony C. Yu translation, since that looks to be 100% the best option for those who can‘t read the original.)
We‘re spending February and March on volume one. Currently in the 100 page introduction. 😅

I like my fairy lights contained- bottles, jars, bowls and other containers. Otherwise I trip on the chords. This shelf houses my large TBR books. And my CD collection.

My box set of Journey to the West. It's shelved with my books on Buddhism but it's actually Chinese mythology. The first book tells of the birth of the Monkey King. I haven't read the other volumes yet.
Two epic works of Chinese literature. I WILL tackle them one day! #booksintranslation #readingwomenmonth
