Just picked up Shogun by James Clavell today, haven't read a book in the series before, and I wondered if I should go about it chronologically or by order of publication. What do you guys think?

Chronologically would be best (although, honestly, it doesn't make too large of a difference)

I think he agrees with me

But isn't the first one chronologically Shōgun? And does it have Greeks?

"start with the greeks" is a meme
Start with Shogun because it stands mostly alone

>trying to get out of starting with the greeks

start with the greeks

I read Shogun and loved it, and then tried the others. They're alright, but are products of the 70s/80s "Japan is going to take over the world!" scare. Shogun's more interesting because it lacks that, has a more interesting setting, and stands alone as a really solid work.

Lit sure does fancy itself the smartest board, but boy is everyone here a bunch of meme-spewing fuckwits whenever the conversation deviates from pre-planned lording it up about philosophy.

All boards on 4chan that I've seen are about the same in terms of stupid meme spouting, other than /b/ and /r9k/ which are worse than the rest

It's not really a series

Growing up, this was my dads favorite book. Over the years that book got lost, damaged, etc. last year I bought him a new copy of that book for his birthday. You should have seen the look on his face.

dude had three copies of it
