Also known as "The Story of the Stone", this is one of China's most famous classic novels. I love these boxed sets (just wish my order had included the box, but that's a minor point). I have not read it yet (it's 2500 pages!) but from what I've heard of it, it is an intricate story of Chinese manners in the 1700's. It is about youth and love and lifestyles then. This is NOT an adventure story, but its content still seems to inspire controversy among its Chinese readers; and it endures as one of China's great novels.

I had heard about this novel for years and have always loved the culture. It's a real challenge to read and I found that I needed to take notes. I have not yet finished it but the debth of the story line is compeling and will head my list of "books I am glad I read" A must read book.
