  And Dream of the Red Chamber to round up the four great Chinese classical novels

    And to round off the six most beloved, The Plum in the Golden Vase (Jin Ping Mei), and The Scholars (AKA Unofficial History of the Scholars).

  Can you recommend any good one-volume translations of those?

    Nope! I have to profess, as an American, my primary exposure to the three aforementioned novels has been filtered through Japanese adaptions (e.g. the Romance of the Three Kingdoms videogames, Suikoden, Dragon Ball, Dynasty Warriors, etc.). I think it would be great for China to take a stab at adapting the stories for an international audience as a game/movie/TV series.
