Seems like Journey to the West is referenced and copied so much in Eastern cultures without any fear of it getting old or going stale.
Is there something similar for Westerners? Is there some Shakespearean story we keep re-imagining again and again without shame?
Hyperion is so fucking good, I recently re-read the entire series again.
Canterbury Tales also has some amazingly good stories despite it’s age. I guess some things are timeless!
