I'm still waiting on the next Sandman Slim novel to be released.....any day now!

In the meantime, I'm reading another old friend, Shogun by James Clavell.

I actually just read this a couple months ago but got the itch after buying and reading A Brief History of the Samurai (A New History of the Warrior Elite), by Jonathan Clements. I found that one on sale for $6 at a book store in the big city a few weeks back. It was an interesting read on the general history of the Samurai caste, how it rose and fell. Interestingly enough, the novel Shogun is loosely based on actual events in history. Of course Clavell fictionalized the story but the main plot is taken from history....which I thought was kind of cool (hadn't known that before) and made me want to read Shogun again......LOL
