Just started a new book. Known as Journey to the West in English. I bought it many years ago (in 2008, I just checked). At first, what drew me to this book was that it's one of the sources of inspiration that led Akira Toriyama to create Dragon Ball. I tried to read it once, but I eventually gave up and forgot about it for a long time. Earlier this year, as I was browsing my library for interesting unread books, I noticed it and decided to add it to the pile of books I'd like to read in 2026. So far, after a few dozen pages, I'm having a good time reading Monkey King's travels and encounters.
