Tonight on GeekNights, we bring you the GeekNights Book Club: The Tale of Genji part 1. We have a lot to say, so we're splitting this one in two. This first episode covers our reactions to the work as fiction. We'll save some of the meta conversation for a followup episode to come. You can use this handy chart to follow along.
For those interested, the next book club book will be N. K. Jemisin's The City We Became.
I met a podcaster from an antique land,

Just want to say that the night after recording this episode I finished reading the next book club book, “The City We Became”. Now I can read whatever the fuck book I want, muahahaha.
