The Far Pavilions
by M.M. Kaye
Around thirtyfive years ago, give or take a few, I watched the TV miniseries with Ben Cross. I am pretty sure I loved it. I think I read the book afterwards and liked it as well, so I will give this 4 stars for now.
Who knows, I might re-read it at some point…
Shōgun (Asian Saga, #1)
by James Clavell
As a teenager and in my twenties I read this book three or four times. Loved it. The exotic culture, the adventure, the difficulties of the English captain to understand the alien society and language, his slow growth throughout the story… Great stuff. And I loved the TV adaptation with Richard Chamberlain and Toshiro Mifune. I can hear the soundtrack in the back of my head, as I type this…
What is your blast-from-the-past that you barely remember, but probably liked and are a little scared to pick up again?
