how can it be good if it's a chore to read?

See now I don't find them a chore to read
Read the first one in two late night sittings.
The only book I can think of like that was James Clavells Shogun, I love that book but always struggle to finish it when re-reading it.

I kind of started reading Tai-pan a couple of weeks back
I have to work myself up to reading things that aren't sci fi or fantasy really, unless they are particularly short and fast-paced like Twelve, or Brookmyre's stuff.

It's weird, but true.

There's a Chinese restaurant
called Tai-Pan where I work. Trufax.

Tai pan is the second of six books in the Asian Saga
The books don't really tie up other than being in chronological order.
I think shogun is my favourite of the lot but that's probably down to seeing the TV show when I was a nipper.
