Tanuki Snow Reading
![]()
New year, new reading! Thanks again @windupbird for being the reading host!
Looking forward to reading along with everyone else, I still need to find something to read.
Finally decided on what to read, got pretty obsessed with ancient Chinese literature lately (currently reading Three Kingdoms again (in English)) so I have a craving for reading about samurai and bloody battles of ancient times so… what else to try and attempt to read but 新書太閤記 by 吉川 英治??
(In English I think it’s translated to “Taiko: An Epic Novel of War and Glory in Feudal Japan” by Eiji Yoshikawa, but it’s about the Sengoku period with the constant upheaval of power to unite Japan; Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, Ieyasu and all those guys)
Perhaps I will regret this later, this this is very long (900 pages or something, split into 11 books/volumes), but there is no going back now, I am committed.
