I think I would be a samurai. Samurai, while fierce warriors, were also poets and great appreciators of the arts.
Have you read Musashi, the novel?

I have not but I did read Shogun by James Clavelle. It is an epic novel and quite a good read. I should check this one out. I am quite curious about it.
There is also a miniseries made in 1980 by the same name, which is very good (in spite of the age).
Nice, thanks for the recommendation!
It's actually a series of books Clavelle wrote. He's really a good author too. The research that he put into writing his historical fiction accounts remain true to the known records of the time. I don't often reread books but I genuinelly enjoy revisiting his series.
Nice, actually I think I heard about it a while back.
