    Game of Thrones.
    Books, 800-1000 pages each. (5.) Have all 6 series dvd. Yes the books and series have been very close to target…..
    Books so engrossed read in 2 weeks….could not put down. Series dvd’s maybe 2 weeks after a break from reading…maybe a week or so.

    True Blood Series. Books good, dvd, well disappointed with ending of series. Found myself revisiting book going back to end as different. Sookie was to end up with Sam the bar owner(wolf) but Sam ends up moving away with a new character shortly exposed and out of town to revisit with 2 kids, sookie pregnant with some guy’s baby and no one knows previously explored, or character. Actually became a downer, disappointed.

    Shogun was an excellent lengthy book, deep. Glued to that as well. Dvd amazingly did good job.

    And Les Miserable..Good big book too. Detail heavy and descriptive. In book main character goes back to jail twice has 2 different numbers? Dvd did well..

    Interestingly in Shogun….Blackthorne is given the name Anjin by the Japanese because they couldn’t pronounce his name.

    Just read an article in the newspaper about Kit Harrington (John Snow) Game of Thrones. New series starts in a week or 2 and it seems like this series 7 will be the last.

    If recalled right story of a Dutch Captin whose ship was searching for the Japan’s…blown off a couse, found… to find out the Spaniards were giving privilege by the Japan’s to export goods provided through the Church allowing them to be in the Japans.

    Yes. Interesting doing some research here:
    “Anjin”
    Indonesian. Meaning Dog…
    English. Quiet/peaceful..
    Spanish. Tranquil..
    Dutch. Running..
    Chinese……. Quiet/peaceful/still

    Mysterq:

    True story, dvd, may I suggest a down time for you.

    “47 Ronin with
    Keanu Reeves…”

    Very good….

    Warlord kills Master..
    47 samurai with no leader, banished from center home, who eventually seek vengeance. Thing never done..before. True honor and courage..final consequences accepted…
    You may enjoy it….
