Yes that's a fine joke but I am genuinely interested in books on Chinese Mythology to add to my collection of Mythology texts. Pic related is one translation that piques my interest.

What are some good English translation recommendations for Shenmo Fiction? I'm mainly interested in "Journey to the West", "Investiture of the Gods", "Legend of the White Snake", "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" and "The Sorcerer's Revolt".

I'm interested in the other three of the big four Chinese Classic Novels (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin), but I'm not sure how related they are to the Gods of the Chinese Pantheon. All I know is that Guan Yu was posthumously deified. But yeah, what are some good English translations for the primary sources of Chinese Mythology?

Pic related in that this version of Journey to the West in English interests me the most because it's four volumes long and isn't an abridged summary like the one by Arthur Waley.
