The Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong

5.0

Where do I begin? Maybe that this 600 page book is only the abridged version of the original 2,300 page story. A welcome break from Western literature, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms depicts the fall of China’s Han Dynasty, chieftain power grabs, epic deception, tactical brilliance, and mercy. It’s a difficult read, but the style matches the story—absolute chaos and disorder. I want more.
