Indeed sir!

Three Kingdoms tells the story of the last reign of the Han dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D. 220) when the Chinese empire was divided into three warring kingdoms.

It is like an Asian equivilent to the Homeric epics.

Unless the homeric epics span across several dozens of books, I mean, full paged novels at least 300 pages each, I'd say the Three Kingdoms is a *bit* longer Good read, though - I'd recommend a book to ya, but I read it in a different language . . ..
