So I knew about the Asia saga before I finished the book, and because I didn't really look into it I assumed it was a continuation of the story... Man was I bummed when I learned each were practically self contained stories. I wanted to read about Blackthorne building ships and sailing to England!!

Still might have to give them a try, I heard that Tai-Pai is also really good.

Wow, what a great adventure! If you haven't heard of it, it's about an English sea captain who gets marooned in Japan around 1600, and has to adapt to Japanese culture. Lots of politicking, romance, and decapitation. Very loosely based on real people too.

Have you read it? What did you think?

As a sidenote I just found out FX is releasing a miniseries based on it next year!

"Nirvana the band the show" is probably my favorite comedy show of all time, and barely anyone knows about it.

Before they made the tv show they had a web series that made this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_qnI1WrlnU

This is more of a highschool childish, but occasionally I like to smoke weed and stay up till 3am playing video games. Then call in sick for work the next day of course

About half way through James Clavell's Shogun. Highly recommended if you're looking for a deep adventure novel!
