Finished Shogun. Fascinating. A good read. Massive lead up to a civil war, and

Spoiler:

the actual war itself takes less than a page.

Next I started, and abandoned, "Later Essays", part of Delphi Classic's complete Robert Louis Stevenson collection. Interesting, but not for me. I suspect I'll be discarding a lot of the minor works.

Now reading Father Christmas's Fake Beard by Terry Pratchett. Another collection of his early short fiction written for the paper he worked at as a journalist. Even this early stuff shows his brilliance. Great fun so far.
