Okay, you'll either dig this or you won't. But if you do, you'll dig it a lot.

Pillow Talk is an updated re-vernacularization (i.e. highly modernized, into the vulgate as it were) of Makura no Soshi, the journals of a tenth-century Japanese woman. Dig the hook, too; it's been (slightly) re-imagined into weblog form, although the translation is basically straightforward.

Thanks to David, who aptly describes it thusly: "Good girls go to heaven. Bad girls go everywhere else. Wild women don't worry. Wild women don't get the blues."

I can't stop reading!

By the way, David will also point you to a more complete and traditional translation, along with stuff that hasn't hit the blog yet. Think I'll put this one on my wish list.
