Well first of all, we're all dopefiends which means we can't read, we just sit on the couch and stare blankly into space for hours.

I'm reading the Wheel Of Time series right now and LOVING it! I just finished the first novel feeling so damn sitisfied, and am now in the middle of The Great Hunt.

Also Shogun was a fascinating and intricate novel that really made me understand Japanese culture. However, a well-written classic though it may be, this 1,200 page book could have been about 700 pages had Clavel removed some of the areas of major tedium. Not to mention the end was a total cop-out. He spent a thousand pages building up this intricately-planned war with all sorts of factors you so look forward to seeing how they work out. Then when the war finally does come, at the end, it's basically 3 pages at the end said "....and it all worked out some how, Toranaga kicked ass and won". I think he was just like "oh man, I'm 1,200 pages in, screw it I'm just gonna wrap it up". I mean ARGH, I read so friggin much to get NOTHING!
