My new intro comes from my favorite author's first book: King Rat. It wasn't his best, but it hooked me, and I can't stop reading Clavell's Asian saga even after reading it twice. I can thank Clavell for my interest in Anime and all things Asian (especially the girls ^_^). He wrote six main books plus some minor ones:

King Rat
Shogun
Tai-Pan
Gaijin
Whirlwind
Noble House

Those are the Asian saga, they tell the stories of many different kinds of people with only one common trait: all of the characters' lives are tied to the Asian continent.

I strongly recommend reading them, especially Shogun, it tells the story of Ieyasu Tokugawa's rise to power, although he changes the names to avoid lawsuits and such.
