What made me post the comment is the fact that we've actually never talked with each other, or at least I don't recall that (sorry!), and responding to a stranger's question might be somehow easier. I don't know if you find my response interesting or trivial, but yes, I would like to play the game, if you found some time to continue it. I'll be off from Friday to Sunday morning, so there's no hurry...
Hmm, Labingi-san, I was wondering why you leave Kuwabara-sensei out of your inspiration sources? Even though Mirage could hardly be considered high literature, I find one thing about it totally fascinating: the way she literaly constructs a perfect romance on the background of pseudo-historical fantasy, the way she makes every bit ever more complicated, twisted and generally more painfull than the readers expect.
That's a very good question. Hm, let me think. One reason I didn't mention it is that the question asked about "books," and I think of MoB as more a "story" than a "book." My specific experience of the books comes from reading pieces in fan translation. That experience tells me a lot of what I find most fascinating about MoB, but my MoB experience is also caught up with the anime, fan fic, fan commentary, etc. And I don't get the "real" experience of the books because I can't read them straight through and I can't read them in the original, so the total "work of art" is inaccessible to me
