Yes, I read the 1st Volume (of 5) of the Dream of the Red Chamber (alternative name) in English. I thought it was very intriguing. Novel of manners, interesting study of society, history, wealth in ancient China, sex, intrigue, power struggles. A very fascinating, but very long book, and with so many characters its hard to keep them all straight.
