Well here's the next book I started to read, over a 1000 pages of samurai ass kicking. But alas just as it started getting good, I've been interrupted by the newly formed book club. So I have a feeling I may have to but this epic on the back burner for a bit.
Blackthorne is an English Pilot commanding a Dutch crew, who's actions boarder on piracy. P.S. he has a stolen Portuguese Rutter ( a stolen journal detailing sailing routes) and winds up in Japan. Washed up on the shore he becomes a prisoner of the Samurai. They treat him well and hook him up with some geisha girls. But they also piss on him, and cook one of his crewmen in a giant pot. There are some beheadings, and some loin clothes.
Well I'm only about 200 pages into this but I'll be starting Rabbit Run by John Updike as soon as it comes in the mail (it's the first book for the bookclub).
