Still reading The Tale of Genji.

Sooooo Genji was out wandering in the woods one day when he randomly met a little girl who apparently reminded him so much of his mother, he immediately adopted her to raise into the perfect wife.

[there's a pause]

Seriously, Wufei? Seriously?

Is that unusual?

Apparently not in Heian Japan.

Nor in many cultures in many eras.

Well, t'be honest, it's not the 'marrying a little kid' thing that gets to me so much as the whole 'marrying a little kid who reminds him of a woman who won't have him who reminds him of his mother'.

Maybe you need something light to read next - like The Study in Scarlet.

That's a Holmes mystery, right?

...That's a little odd...

How much younger was she than he?

Re: video pilot_zero_two January 31 2011, 03:58:28 UTC
He was eighteen and she was like...six or seven, I think.

That...

Maybe I don't want to read this book.

It's okay, though, he waits until she's like, twelve, before he actually has sex with her.

That was not so uncommon then.

Apparently not.

In the case of a good husband, it was very beneficial for the future wife, she would get to know her husband, and they would have a good and understanding relationship.

Hmm....I guess.
