James Clavell's "Shogun"
I don't plan on reading his entire Asian Saga since his books are over 1,000 pages long and there are at least 5 or 6 of them, but Shogun has really grabbed my interest. I like the setting (feudal Japan) and I particularly enjoy the way that Clavell dives into all of his character's thoughts so fluidly.
