Just finished Shogun. A great epic by James Clavell.
It is based on a real character, I can't recall the name but I know I found it in the archive.org site but I haven't read it yet. It's somewhere in my e-book collection. I'll give more details when I'm on my main laptop. The TV-Series was interesting too.
Yep. I was very interested in researching that, but I guess I got side-tracked. That's probably my favorite part of the book. The clash of cultures, that is.
