For a non-weeb, is Shogun worth reading?

No.

Absolutely not.

It's on the level of King, or the Da Vinci Code.

It does have good historical value, though. It really helped to popularise neo-weebdom.

Depends if you enjoy pulp stuff, I was sick for a week and found it lying around at home, so I read through it all that week. It's a pretty fun easy read.

Literally every white guy has a copy, so it's mandatory you at least buy it

Read this. Worth every moment.

Great recommendation.
I personally preferred Yoshikawa's Taiko a little bit more: more poltiics, more intrigues, same story telling skills on a larger scale.

It's just a really, really cool katana.

it's fun. musashi is tons better but shogun is still decent. the old tv miniseries was pretty badass imo.
