Query: not feeling the love for Genji

given that it's "the first novel" I'll not award only one star, but... lordy this book is repetitive and dreary. I occasionally pick it up and read a wee bit at random and for a little while can enjoy, but that seems to be the only way to appreciate. I recall having an argument about whether the first piece of computer music which I think was by ben johnston was any kind of music at all, in fact, and have to shake my head at peoples' self delusional capacities to hold this novel as being "still one of the greatest" as it's value seems mainly in the accident of its initiation of an inevitable long form of prose literature
