but books where i have an idea of what characters look like are marvelous

lol i am the exact opposite, i hate having an imprint of what the chars look like. i like making them look like whatever my Damn Imagination makes them look like

on a whim i bought The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi and The Palm-Wine Drunkard/My Life in The Bush of Ghosts by Amos Tuotola

[don't let's]

Finished The Hunger Games books and thought they were okay but nothing spectacular. Though individually, and collectively, I thought they felt a little bit too short. They could of used a little bit more meat to the story.

on a whim i bought The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi

i just started reading this. came in the mail today. guy was an undefeated samurai back in 1600's japan. supposedly never bathed or combed his hair. was homeless. the book is essentially about "the science of martial arts" as he came to find it, but its not really about martial arts. this is going to be really good.

also there is another "book" included with my purchase that I was unaware of. The Book of Family Traditions on the Art of War by Yagyu Munemori. This guy was a teacher of martial arts to most of the Tokugawa family. He was a celebrated swordsman and, from what I read in the preface, this book is going to be about how to utilize the circumstances you are in to achieve your goal.

wow, that's really fascinating stuff

i'm actually really interested in delving into some stuff like this. i did a lot of studying in various areas of the Japanese arts, especially Noh theatre, with regards to its history with a big emphasis on the period of the Tokugawa shogunate's regime...and a lot of folklore as well, but not a whole lot else as far as Japanese literature and history goes.

i should really look into samurai writings like that.

whoa that rules, i was planning on reading about samurais and shinto throughout the summer, you should " PM " all the good books you read about it.

i am also reading game of thrones

i am more than halfway through and i love how close the tv series stuck to it, but i love more that it's basically like finding out little secrets that can't be included as well

I'm actually on the fourth book in the series, and trust me, it gets better and better the further you get into it. The plot REALLY thickens in the second and third books. You're going to get hooked.
