Its nice to see talk about The Story of the Stone. It truly is a fantastic book and well worth the time if you are willing to put in the effort. I wouldnt describe it as similar to a Jane Austin book. I think it is much more than that since the best way to get a grasp of traditional Chinese culture, beliefs, and norms is reading The Story of the Stone.
I finished up reading
Both were fantastic and will now start Battle Cry of Freedom. I'm excited. I am not all that excited about the gap between that book and the next oxford US history book though.
