    Question The Reading Thread

    OK So I had an idea for a thread that I'm not sure where to put, nor even if it's a good idea, so here it is...

    I found this site that has a good number of the Chinese Classics that many talk about blithely... you know, stuff like the Art of War, Tao Te Ching, Buddhist stuff, Book of Five Rings, Confucius, yatta yatta...

    Everything there is free for downloads using Acrobat, so maybe we could do a discussion group sort of thing using the same translations, so we can ask "Yo, WTF is going on on page 27?" and we'll know what to look at.

    And we can find others too, that'd be cool- I'd like to see Yellow Emperor's Classic, myself...And Western works like Get Tough or Kill Or Be Killed would also be cool.

    SO:
    -Anybody interested? I never read all of them in-depth or with a knowledgable group for a resource. Others who have would be a great benefit for ideas and corrections.

    -Is this a good slot for it, Design Sifu? Should it go elsewhere? Its really possible for this to become one monster of a thread- and it might be hard to mod. I really don't think a seperate thread for each book would work...

    -How to do it?? Everybody read whatever, or everybody try to read the same thing? If the second, it might be really cool 'cuz we can do direct discussion points.
