Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa

5.0

Wow! What a saga! I definitely see now why this is such a popular book to read! And wow is it a long one! But I will say this, I enjoyed every minute of it. You can see where he gets his ideas for The Book of Five Rings, how he used Zen to not only calm down but encompass his whole life, and all of this leading up to his famous duel. It took me a really long time to finish this one, but like I said before, it was well worth it. Definitely a recommendation to anyone that’s a fan of Ancient Japan , Samurai, sword fighting, Zen, and epic tales.
