Definitely one of my all-time favorite novels. I just saw FX made a new television series. Has anybody started watching it yet?

My plan is to re-read the novel and then start the series. Has to be at least thirty years since I read it.

    I read that book, along with a few of Clavell's other novels, including King Rat. The only things I remember are: One hand is for wiping, the other eating; and seppuku. Do you think it's the eating hand that does the latter? It should be the shit-wiping hand, if you ask me.

    The first two episodes are lovely with beautiful language.
