Hmmm - another book! Uh-oh!!
I didn't see the mini-series; not much of a movie/TV watcher. I was so disappointed when I saw The Carpetbaggers after reading the book, where the characters were so different from what I was expecting. It put me off seeing any movie if I had already read the story.

I love to read, Kabu.
And, like you, I learn much along the way. Ok for arrangement. Had already sent you an email.

Very interesting, JimmyA.
I have never been disappointed by one of his books, except I meet the same problem...I can't put it down until I'm done.

He was a great writer, Nautikos.
Have you read Whirlwind? Also by James Clavell? It would probably interest you - about Iran and the religion taking over the country. Excellent read - another page-turner!

3 days to die - but he had done worse to others before he got his, TAPS.
The cruelty, both physical and mental, and often for very little reason, makes one's head spin. There is also much good explained too - a huge difference in their culture and ours.

Thank you, Justi.
Problem is, other stuff gets put on hold until I'm done - which is not always a good thing.

Something a lot of book lovers have in common is not being able to put a good book down, I also fine myself a little sad when a book ends, it's like saying goodbye to a friend.

Well I expect they have moved on a bit since them Adnohr. Once we hated them and now we seem to adore them except for financial problems. Reminds me I must give my BIL the series he still runs tapes.

I can understand the need to finish a book! Once I begin reading that's it. Nothing else gets done until "The End".

That's exactly how I remember it, too...
When I read it, no one got a thing out of me for nearly a week. It took only a day to re-watch the entire miniseries, however, and it was fairly faithful to the book, though not as rich with cultural information.
THE NAME OF THE ROSE was like that, too.
Smiles!

our quiet lives especially in the winters here contain many happy hours of
reading. I have learned so much about life and the world by travelling yes, and reading.
Oh btw...same arrangement as last time will be great. we will be in touch.

You should never feel apologetic for reading. In fact, if more people read more often, there might be a little more understanding between everyone! I've never read Shogun, but know of it. Sounds interesting . . .

I have never read it, but maybe I should. It's a bit embarrassing, but my knowledge of Japanese history is very spotty...

I read that many years ago when it first came out and I still vividly remember the ending with the guy buried up to his neck and people hacking at his neck with bamboo and how many days it took him to die.

Oh what fun, never put it down until you have finished. Wow! many good books have been dropped by the wayside at my house because the bits and pieces of reading time lessened the joy of the book. You go girl. Thanks for the smile and here is one for you!
