Shogun Continued

A note on my previous post. I have been planning to get my hands on Shōgun by James Clavell for about four to five years now, but never really got down to reading it till recently.

The interest for Shōgun actually arose from another excellent and interesting book I read about five years back called Cloud of Sparrows by Takashi Matsuoka. I was discussing the book with a friend of mine (who had actually lent it to me for reading) and he mentioned that Shōgun was much better than Cloud of Sparrows.

I was on the look out for the book then my reading interest also changed and it also slipped my mind, since my reading interests also changed over the period and now I am back a full circle with Shōgun I guess.
