herzogian 148 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Shogun - James Clavell Never read the book though it's sitting on my shelf, mocking me. I do have nostalgic feelings of the series with Richard Chamberlain. Learned my first words of japanese watching Shogun: Anjin san, Hai, Domo, Wakarimashta, Wakarimasen etc... And of course Toshiro Mifune as lord Toranaga before I knew him from the Kurosawa-films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Is it your first read through?Absolutely not, I'm the resident ASOIAF expert At least my third time reading this one, possibly more. Far better than A Feast for Crows but lame in comparison to A Storm of Swords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Who is your favourite pov? Mine is probably samJaime Lannister, without a doubt, as he's by far the best character in the books and the TV series.Conversely, in the books I hate Brienne's chapters, mostly, but in the show she's absolutely brilliant.Must say that Jon Connington is one of my favourite characters, I look forward to reading more of his stuff.

Jase 43,479 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I haven't. Is it worth a try?Yup. It's entertaining, funny and you get to understand a lot more about Ancelotti as a person. There's also plenty of food analogies/references. He loves to eat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
