edit: Huh, look what I found Amazon search didn't find it, but it came up through Google. Maybe it's now available as a Kindle book, but no price is mentioned... Last edited by Katsunami; 09-20-2013 at 06:58 PM. |

Oh, fracking hell. I hate geo-restrictions.
I have changed my Kobo profile over to a US address, and the books are suddenly available. The Sept50 code works, cutting the $15.99 price to $7.99. (Which is €5.92.) I've bought both books. Pity that the Heiké Story is not in English. Could you check if this is available at Amazon? Thinking back that I paid almost €30 for each hardback almost a decade ago, that is a huge price difference. These two books are going to be near the top of my To Be (Re-)Read List ASAP. I've been wanting to re-read them, but didn't want to lug the 1000-page hardcovers around, not to mention having to squint at the the very small print. Thanks for finding these. I think I'll leave my Kobo account on the US address; cheaper, and more books to be had. Karma for you. Twice, if I could. Sorry for the off-topic Grace, but it may have been worth it. If you (ever) intend to read either Musashi or Taiko, which I'd highly recommend, then this is a good time to get because of the Kobo Sept50 code. |

Yes, those were the two I found. Thanks.
It seems that Kobo and Amazon omit search results if you are not in the "correct" part of the world for some books. Had I known this beforehand, I would have found those books ages ago. |

I read Musashi a few weeks ago in e-book format. It is a very good book indeed and does a great job in describing a critical period in Japanese history. You could say that it is a history lesson, combined with meditations on spirituality, all wrapped in a grand saga. I highly recommend it.

Sarah Rees Brennan: "Unspoken" (beginning of a triology, part two is coming any time now): A gothic story taking place today, in a small English town. "Demon's lexicon" and the two sequels. Urban fantasy, very dark and very funny. Brennan is one of my favourite authors these days, see http://sarahreesbrennan.com/extras/ for some samples, but stay away from most of the Demon's Lexicon short stories -- all of the are very spoilerish, except "Quiet in the house", which is a very good sample of that universe. |

>Plus the paperback has a cat on the cover (not that I'm shallow, you understand ) <
Well in that case I would like to recommend The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov ![]() eP |
