Almost 50 years ago. I remember it being a good read.

I listened to it on audio as well. Fantastic.

My wife was relieved when I finished the 53 hours as I finally stopped referring to myself as her liege lord. Haha!

Truly excellent novel. It was one of those that brings you into the story immediately.

I don't know what it was, but I just couldn't get into this novel. I'll have to try again soon.

Love Shogun. One of my all time favorite books. And the sequels are good too.

It’s a top 4 or 5 novel of all time for me. I read it once and have since listened to the audiobook 3 times. I just finished the 3rd listen last week in anticipation of the new series.

My wife will be glad when I quit using Japanese around the house in our conversations. LOL

Very good novel. Read it when it was first published. (I think one of the old tv networks made a mini-series out of it with the dude that played Dr.Kildare.)

damn this book must be popular right now. Used copies are expensive as all hell on ebay!

eta: Just noticed that I have two Audible credits. They've split it in to two parts there so might pick them both up.

Not really a spoiler at all, but alert for anyone who’s really sensitive… I’m at the part in book 1 with the suggestion of the duck, laughing my arse off. It’s really good so far.
