I don't know why I have just now read this thread, but here I am. It's funny because my father has mentioned several times that Shogun was one of the greatest novels he's ever read.

From what I gather in this thread, it was made into a T.V. mini series right? It was never made into a movie released in theaters?

From what my Dad has said about the novel, and what I've read here about the series, I'm going to definitely check it out.
