…get the general sense wrong. I'd recommend start with Eiji Yoshikawa if you like Japanese history and want to learn more - of course, start with "Musashi", which is fantastic. If you really like it, "Taiko" is good too. Musashi (my favorite book, huge for people who have lots of potential and are having a hard time dealing with people close to them because of it) - http://www.amazon.com/Musashi-Eiji-Yoshikawa/dp/4770019572/r...…
…almost like a Shakespearean drama. Anyway, a very interesting and unique author. I also recommend Musashi from Eiji Yoshikawa. He writes big historical fiction novels that read like fantasy page-turners. Taiko is his lesser known novel in translation, but it is a really awesome overview of the Japanese feudal period and a fun read as well.
…to love a book, but I figure almost anyone here would. Everyone, literally everyone I'd recommended or gifted a copy of Musashi too is crazy about the book. At the risk of getting way ahead of myself, Taiko by the same author is quite good too, but larger in scope - more characters, more history, a bit more work but still a good story. If you really like Japan or Yoshikawa's writing style, check that out…
For a Japanese twist, read Eiji Yoshikawa's novels - he fictionalized historical accounts into novels, Taiko is set before Shogun and is about the rise of Oda Nobunaga, who was succeeded by Clavell's Tokugawa Ieyasu. Musashi is about the famous swordsman's life.
……领会错大意。如果你喜欢日本历史并且想多了解一些，我推荐从吉川英治入手——当然，首选《宫本武藏》，超级精彩。如果你真的很喜欢，《太阁记》也很不错。《宫本武藏》（我最爱的一本书，对于潜力巨大但在处理身边亲近关系上焦头烂额的人来说意义重大）- http://www.amazon.com/Musashi-Eiji-Yoshikawa/dp/4770019572/r...…

《思考致富》 - Napoleon Hill 《太阁记》 - 吉川英治 《Alexander of Macedon》 - Peter Green，另外给 Staunch 选的这本 +1：《沉思录》 - 马可·奥勒留
Think & Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill Taiko - Eiji Yoshikawa Alexander of Macedon - Peter Green and +1 for Staunch's choice: Meditations - Marcus Aurelius
附议，非常棒的历史小说。吉川的另一本书《太阁记》也同样出色。
Second that, great historical fiction. Yoshikawa's other book, Taiko, is equally good.
……简直就像莎士比亚戏剧一样。总之，是个非常有趣且独特的作家。我也推荐吉川英治的《宫本武藏》。他写的大部头历史小说读起来就像引人入胜的奇幻爽文。《太阁记》是他译作里知名度稍低的一部，但它对日本战国时期的全景勾勒非常棒，读起来也很有乐趣。

……爱上这本书，但我觉得这里几乎任何人都会。我推荐过或送过《Musashi》的每个人，真的是每个人，都为之疯狂。冒着扯太远的风险说一句，同作者的《Taiko》也相当不错，但格局更大——人物更多，历史更多，读起来要费点劲，但依然是个好故事。如果你真的喜欢日本或者吉川英治的写作风格，可以看看那本……

想看点日本风味的，去读吉川英治的小说吧——他把历史事件演义成了小说，《太阁记》的背景在《幕府将军》之前，讲的是织田信长的崛起，克拉维尔笔下的德川家康就是他的继任者。而《宫本武藏》则是关于那位著名剑客的一生。
