We have several threads that mention Musashi, but none dedicated to The Book of Five Rings. Our new sweepstakes is for a gorgeous new edition of The Book of Five Rings By Miyamoto Musashi, translated by Thomas Cleary, with 2 audio CDS read by Lloyd James (ends 6:00 p.m. PST on 12/22/2010) so I'm using that as an excuse to start one.

On the way to work today, I was toying with the idea of starting a subforum dedicated to books. I know I'm always resistant to launching new forums because it's a hassle to shuffle old threads about and it would require more maintenance. But as a publisher, I'm considering it mostly for the statement it would make.

Back to Musashi, I wrote my Provost D'Arms thesis on The Book of Five Rings. That was back in '85 I think. I'm eager to hear of anyone else who has engaged The Book of Five Rings here.
