I found this series more rewarding than almost any other book series. I find it to be so.... literarily... satisfying. I have no idea how to explain that. The author's vision of the future is so complex and compelling, and the humanity of it all. I could go on for hours!
For me one series I feel like you do, is the Asian Saga by James Clavell, maybe because I read the books for the first time as a child and have always been interested in business, etc, but like you I cannot explain it :-)
I will certainly check it out! Isn't it strange what kinda reaches out and gives you a big impression? I'm interested in your opinion once you've finished.
I am always glad to hear of books that leave this kind of impact on people, and I've heard about the Asia Saga before, but I forgot about it. Very eager to start. Thanks for the recommendation
