I think you’ll like the new versions better here’s a side-by-side comparison gallery of the Munseys version versus mine as displayed in Adobe Digital Editions (clicky to embiggen): Through much scripting (and re-scripting, and re-scripting) and editing (power-Vim user here), I reformatted things as nicely as I could. Thus, I decided to create new ePub and Kindle/Mobipocket versions of Journey to the West. Some reading software will actually crash on page turns (including FBreader, calibre, Stanza, Adobe Digital Editions, which is a very wide swath of software to do wrongs to). But while there is a version up at Munseys in ePub, Mobipocket, and many other formats, they’re all poorly formatted. Now quite a few people are interested in reading it, and given that in print it’s a rather thick book-100 chapters long, and in print some 1200 pages-an ebook would be ideal.

For those who study Asian culture, the story provides an even richer experience, as the subtext offers a fascinating look at the perplexing religious multiplicity of Chinese society. Xiyouji can be read by those who know nothing about Chinese religion or folklore as an epic adventure, full of humor, monkey violence and poetry.

You can read more about it at this kick-ass Tor.com post by Jason Henninger, Wu Cheng-en Ain’t Nuthin To Fuck Wit: Ah well.)) The story is around 400 years old, but still kickin’ it. Cool, but not as often as it could have been. Journey to the West is sort of the source of all the Kung-fu kool and kookiness, embodied by the enigmatic Monkey as he accompanies a monk, a sentient tool-using pig, a fallen seneschal of Heaven, and a dragon horse.
