Thank you so much!

I've been tempted by Genji for years but it looks so incredibly long and daunting (and expensive :P). But I really must get to it. I should buy it for a really long flight...

It does sounds really cool.

I spent my book budget this month but next month? will most likely get.

You have the Tomoe Gozen books? I hate you with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. Only, not really. I still need to get Musashi, too ( ... )

I also own Musashi :) Am about halfway through it :P

Thanks re fantasy! I don't read too much fantasy but am always willing to give recommended ones a try (I dislike high fantasy but this doesn't seem to be it).

probably will skip the mysteries. With my reading endings first, I am the world's worst mystery reader. The only ones I managed to love were Lord Peter and Amelia books.

Re: politics. At least in ep 1, I am finding all the politics super fun. Which is scary :)

Well...Musashi I'm fairly certain I can get...I just have to get around to it(the drama and the manga Vagabond are based on the book ( ... )

Thanks. I tried AB but was a bit lost because it was second in the series. I want to try CoS.
