My latest read:
I started reading this the very day the quake in Japan happened. I wanted to learn more about Japan, and in my Anthropolgy class we were told that reading books written about different cultures can give you info on those cultures. This book is epically long (about 1500 pages), and tells the story of a British sailor named John Balckthrone (LOL, what a name, at least it wasn't Blackbeard), who winds up on Japan after an expedition to the New World, where he charted undiscovered territories and raided Portuguese/Spanish colonies. Here he finds a coming civil war, consipracies, deceit, love, adventure, fortune, loss, and more excitement than most people have in a lifetime. In the end Blackthrone will be a changed man. It also has one of the most hardcore, yet realistic female characters I've ever seen. Awsome book overall.
