Gai Jin



I was going to write something. I was going to draw something. But then I started reading this book--four months ago.

The book was pretty good. Starts in the middle of nothing and ends in the middle of nothing, but so much happens. It's like I was living out the last years of the 19th century in feudal Japan (but really, only four months). It's not Shogun, but it's not bad either. Clavell is a writer that has the talent to totally engross and transport his readers. Gai-Jin is book three of six in the Asian Saga.
