Some Clavell is outstanding (Shogun - Seriously great book, Noble House - my other fave Clavell, Taipan - also very good, and King Rat). Other Clavell is a bit rangy and slow-paced and tougher to read, IMO (Whirlwind, Gai-Jin).
If I was on the proverbial desert island and could only take one bookshelf, Shogun and Noble House would be on it.
