I only wanted to read it for its historical importance. But I recall have no interest in the pearl clutching that was done in very early Japanese high society/royalty. Genji was a slut and had a lot of children, who were also slutty. 

Unfortunately for me “he went into her inner chambers” is literal and not figurative. 

If you like reading novels of manners you might like this. But it’s too much of a “linear” tale for me to be interested.

Was funny to see the same complaints older generations make about younger ones. We’ve been saying “the kids don’t read” and “no one wants to learn instruments anymore” forever.
