I have no idea how or when I will fit it in, but all your talk about Shogun has me sorely tempted to read it. I used to read more historical fiction, and it would be a nice way to return to that genre. I'm looking forward to the imminent One Piece discussion, Mike. My book of the month for January was probably Assassin's Fate. All the best!

It’s a slippery slope Philip. Shogun is so good but so is Tai-Pan and so far so is Gai-Jin 😅. You’ll have another chunky series on your plate in no time 🙈.

You gotta find time. I took the plunge and have less than 100 pages left and all I can say is Shōgun is an experience. The pacing, the tension, and the immersion into a culture I knew very little about all culminated in a truly rewarding experience. It’s worth your time!!

Mike, since you are reading more outside of fantasy, did you ever read The Son by Phillip Meyer? I love the book and the tv show adaptation with Pierce Bronson. A novel that takes place in SE Texas circa 1915 with flashbacks to the 1850’s!!

@@surpriseitsus9622 Heres a review I saw that's accurate. "Sandman Slim has arrived-a wild and weird, edge-of-your-seat supernatural roller-coaster rider that propels author Richard Kadrey to the forefront of the fantasy, thriller, and a host of other literary genres. This spellbinding, utterly remarkable tale of a vengeful magician/hitman’s return from hell is part H.P. Lovecraft, part Christopher Moore, part Jim Butcher, and totally, unabashedly dark, twisted, and hilarious."

BOTM: Golden Son (I know Mike will approve) Little tip with recording on iPhone, you’ll probably find it easier to download a 3rd party app. They give more control over light settings, etc. than the inbuilt app. That said, I didn’t notice anything until you said, so I don’t think you have a major issue.

I'm probably due a reread of Shogun, it's been a few years since I last read it. I'm looking forward to the TV adaptation, hoping its going to be as good if not better than the 80's version. Richard Chamberlain was excellent in that. I read 3 books and 9 comic books in January. Books: Star Wars From A Certain Point Of View - which was mostly really bad Planet Of The Apes - which was really good The Call Of The Wild - which was very good. Comic Books: Conan Chronicles Epic Collection: The Heart Of Yag-Kosha Judge Dredd - The Complete Case Files 33 Ocean Orbiter Red Rising: Sons Of Ares Marvel Knights: Punisher - The Complete Collection Volume 1 - Garth Ennis at his best, with a character perfectly suited to his writing Marvel Knights: Punisher - The Complete Collection Volume 2 - Garth Ennis Marvel Knights: Punisher - The Complete Collection Volume 3 - Garth Ennis Punisher Max - The Complete Collection Volume 1 - Garth Ennis Book of the month was The Call Of The Wild, I have White Fang ready to reread soon also.
