Quote of the Day

Publié par Patrick on Monday, February 25, 2013
Men need to whisper secrets, Lady. That's what makes them different from us--they need to share secrets, but we women only reveal them to gain an advantage. With a little silver and a ready ear--and I have both--it's all so easy. Yes. Men need to share secrets. That's why we're superior to them and they'll always be in our power.

- JAMES CLAVELL, Shogun (Canada, USA, Europe)

About 900 pages into this book and it is still absolutely awesome!

My father, an sf reader since the 1940s, once told me that he thought this was one of the best "first contact" stories he had ever read. After reading it I tended to agree with him.
