Just finished "Shogun" by James Clavell - eviltoast

Wow, what a great adventure! If you haven’t heard of it, it’s about an English sea captain who gets marooned in Japan around 1600, and has to adapt to Japanese culture. Lots of politicking, romance, and decapitation. Very loosely based on real people too.

Have you read it? What did you think?

As a sidenote I just found out FX is releasing a miniseries based on it next year!

    nope not all series, have continued stories. That is also why I wanted to read the rest over time, to get how it fits in the overall story of the series.
