as usual i finish two books nearly at the same time.

by reading two different genres at the same time i keep my interest more than reading just one.

this time i finished James Clavell's Shogun:

synopsis is: an English ship captain [Blackthorn] makes the great cape horn and lands in Japan were only previously it had been the Portuguese only who could get there.

these thousand or so pages describes the political turmoil and unease around this time and with the foreigners starting to land in Japan and the foreign religions of the God-Christ. As well as the love that binds and forms paths. the plans within plans that unfold with Blackthorn in the middle.

i had once told my mom that i like to read books that others cherish because you can learn about the person through the books. she chose to buy me this and a couple others out of the Asian Saga by James Clavell quoting me my own quote.

the last bit had me rolled on my bed crying and wishing for the bloodbath that all the Samurie were poised for.

the whole of this book was also a wonderful way to see the cultural differences that are taken advantage of so often. i can laugh at what the English did wrong and what the Japanese had done to make the English mad. but both sides were right in there own way for being raised the way they were.

i recommended this greatly and can't wait to read the next six or so.

in the meantime the owner of the local comic book shop and my x saved around sixty Star Trek books for me to have.

i have a lot of reading ahead of me. not that i didn't before. these look like semi easy reads and encompass most of the entire series and not just DS9 or OST. I am excited to get into another long series of short reads. the last one was Dune and it is one of the things that keeps me living.

ah Paul... you will always make me cry.

after the next chunk of War and Peace i am going to start at least End the Fed by Ron Paul and possibly the star trek books.
