I haven't read anything that wasn't online in a few months and I'm looking for some good suggestions on material. During my lurkings here I saw mention of Equal or Greater Force by Kit Cessna and, after looking into it a bit, I plan to pick it up. I'm wondering if anybody here has recommendations on good books pertaining to martial arts history, general health (including any good recipe books with quick, easy, healthy bachelor preparations...that would be a god-send! ), body maintenance (such as treating common injuries, caring for old ones that you're stuck with, and self-massage), and any good translations of some of the classics.

Please, no books on techniques or how-to self-defense. I find those to be rather worthless.
