Anyone read Musashi by Eli Yoshikawa?

I am reading it now. I couldn't put the book down all weekend.

It is slightly different than James Clavell's Shogun series, but I actually think it is a better story.

I am reading this currently and another book by Stephen Ambrose on you'll never guess... World War II.

Trying to start reading Plato's Laws, but it isn't as good as the Republic.

I can't wait to get home and start reading a few chapters.

Yes, it's my favorite book!

He has another book translated into English called Taiko, but I didn't feel that it's as good as Musashi. Of course, nothing can match Musashi!

btw, isn't his name Eiji Yoshikawa, not Eli?

Interesting. Maybe I'll have to pick it up.

If he's Japanese, there's no way his name can be Eli...

Is Musashi a brave fencer?
