Shogun

"Blackthorne felt filthy and horrible and near death.  Don't worry, he told himself, you've a long way to go before you die. . . . No, I can't live long in this hell hole.  There're too many men.  Oh, God, let me out!  Why is the room swimming up and down, and is that Rodrigues floating up from the depths with moving pincers

Lol what?

it's at the end of several sentences. "ne" is used in japanese like we use "right?" or "isn't it?" but i'm sure you knew that just in context anyway. but i was amused by it's repetition throughout your chosen gems from your reading.

It makes me really happy that you do this: post excerpts you like from the books your reading. I was just talking to a man who told me he doesn't like poetry or novels - I really like that you do this.

There's an odd bit off missing connections in the mind of a man who doesn't like the written word. Thank you. I'm glad you appreciate it because it takes a long time to type them all up. lol
