Next up, Shogun. I read this some 40 years ago, and was enthralled then, but will be curious to read it now after having worked for a Japanese automaker for 12 years. Then, I knew absolutely nothing about Japan except that we'd dropped a couple of atomic bombs on them, but now I have at least a limited understanding and appreciation for their culture and society.
Meanwhile, for an audiobook, as soon as I finish Sharpe's Trafalgar (nearly done), I'll start the second in the Last of the Herald Mages series from Mercedes Lackey.

Reading and listening to
Shogun. This is a huge book, so it will take a while. Meanwhile, I finished
Sharpe's Trafalgar, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The Richard Sharpe books are fun, if somewhat predictable. And historically well researched. Next up will be
Sharpe's Prey, but there'll be a couple of other things in there first.
