西游记 is a great novel, but how is 水浒 anything

related to fiction? It's just 演义，that's what we Chinese do best - getting bit and pieces of history, adding some hearsays, wrapping it up with some untold "secrets" or "不得不说的故事"。

Personally, I don't like "Matrix" or "Star Wars" and prefer history more. It doesn't help with inventive passion.
