The book "Shogun" by James Clavell is based on a genuine story that is so ridiculous that it should be classified as fantasy. Every word, every syllable transports the reader into the enchanting world of Japanese culture and the cruel regulations of the samurai. You feel it with every heartbeat.

Winter Ritual
Winter arrives without asking. It comes quietly, often overnight, when the world has decided to slow down. Winter is cold. Winter is white. Winter lasts three long months—sometimes more—and sometimes it comes with snow, and sometimes only with the promise of it. Either way, it changes everything.

Beyond Bars: Rethinking Prisons, Punishment, and What Justice Is Really For.
Do we need prisons? It is a deceptively simple question—one that exposes deep assumptions about justice, responsibility, fear, and hope. My answer is yes, but only provisionally. Prisons should exist, but only as a last resort, tightly limited in scope, radically reformed, and oriented toward a clear moral purpose: restoration and public protection, not suffering for its own sake.

Cabin Fever Because of Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain That Turned to Icy Roads
What Is Cabin Fever? The short answer is that cabin fever is restlessness from being in a confined area. Cabin fever is the distressing irritability or restlessness experienced when a person or group is stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended time. Research shows that prolonged cold, gray skies, and being stuck indoors can trigger mood shifts similar to “winter blues.”

I remember the series from years ago. I loved it but I bet the book’s even better.
