For fans of the goings-on of crazy decadent imperial courts (you know who you are):
http://www.livejournal.com/users/rachelmanija/ is reading The Tale of Genji and posting summaries of each chapter for comment. We're five chapters (of about 50) in, and so far everyone agrees that "Genji is a skank with serious mother issues." Also, he's a total Mary Sue, even if he is a man & the writer was a woman; also, we now understand where most of the pervier manga tropes came from.
