Yup! Except that it was beautiful there, and it's dreadful here.
Mm, when I first read Shogun, I couldn't stand Christian evangelism -"I Was a Childhood Agnostic Wonder" - even in a historical context, so I was like, "Get them, get them, the culture-rapists!" Now I'm much, much more tolerant. Thank God! (Only mine is still not the Christian concept of God.)
True. My dad let me watch it after I started the book, forgetting that scene. He regretted it after he was very embarrassed to be watching it with me; the historical commentary we'd had going just died and dried up, right there.
Thanks! I'm excited about this, and I have a question: would it be just you reviewing, or do you have other history geek friends who might be willing to do the same? The more, the merrier! Plus, different perspectives are shiny.
