You really feel like you are there. On the other hand, I think some trimming would have benefited the book. Sure, they lived at a slower pace back then, but there is such a thing as too much authenticity. This is one of the best books at establishing setting that I have ever seen.

Very helpful. I'm hoping not too many of my books will be kicked out of the revised edition. :) Thanks for the link to the new spreadsheet Arukiyomi! Very helpful.

I like your ratings system BTW. If you're interested, there's a <b>brand new version</b> of Arukiyomi's 1001 books spreadsheet. Along with some cool new features, there are lists of both the revised 1001 books and those that were removed.
