    This book is quite interesting. It contains real history, time travel, out-of-body experiences, and even river gods and dragons. The author isn't just making up stories; rather, they use fictional tales to tell certain things. We can see many interesting things in it. I'm really looking forward to seeing if anyone else, like me, wants to discuss it after reading it.
