    On the fiction side: The Dragon and the Stars edited by Eric Choi and Derwin Mak is always worth a read.

    I've always enjoyed The Destroyer series, as you can see from the avatar. Pretty fun light reading.

    Yes, you pale piece of pig's ear.

    Youtube Remo Williams and you'll find some funny clips from the movie.

    There's a new translation of Takuan Soho

    I just finished it. It's really good, much more illuminating than The Unfettered Mind, although because it is more scholarly, it isn't quite as poetic. However, if you enjoyed The Unfettered Mind, you absolutely must read this. It's far more complete with history and additional writings and anecdotes.

    Sweet. Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know about this.
