The first time I picked up Shōgun I couldn't put it down, and I immediately read the other books (published at that time, this was before Whirlwind and Gai-Jin) with equal gusto. I loved Tai-Pan , but Shōgun is my favorite in the series, and one of my all-time favorite books, period. Anjin San was such an interesting and well-developed character, as was Toranaga. It was the first time I ever read Clavell, and I was hooked.
I wasn't entirely thrilled with the Richard Chamberlain film, but I will definitely watch this with great interest; FX has produced some great quality stuff. The trailer looks great!
