Nope. And good luck with reading the full books. Dream of the Red Chamber is nearly twice as long as the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. Translations are acceptable, but not the abridged translations, which are common. You need to read the full translations, which for Journey to the West often come in multiple volumes.

Eh, I'm reading Dante's Inferno at the moment. Water Margin sounds interesting so I might read that next.

Re: Fokheads Reading Challenge 2017
Pretty nice-looking list there.
As for me, I read Algorithm Design by Jon Kleinberg and Eva Tardos and the Art of War by Sun Tzu this month.
Also, what's Super Mario Adventures like?
