  • Oh yeah absolutely enjoyed that book, and wished I read more of the Asia saga by James Clavell to know how it fits in that even bigger story. Cause I really enjoyed the sort of chess game that was the plot (and reminded me of the best Epic fantasies in that way)

    And no I did not know there was another adaptation of this story coming our way. Did see the previous miniseries from Paramount on blue-ray. With John Rhys-Davies (the actor who played Gimli in LOTR) as Rodrigues as an absolute highlight.


  • I try to limit my book buying already for a few years, by wanting to read a book at least three times before I buy it. (doesn’t always work, but at least it keeps me from impulse buying every book that sounds vaguely interesting.) Also I reread and lent from the library. so I do not always read new books exclusively. And once I read a book I wonder if I see myself rereading it, if yes it can stay, if no it can find a new home by secondhand bookstore or free little library.
