Will have to see if I can't remedy that over the next couple of months...

Well, as nothing had been posted in awhile, I figured I'd just hack away... when you said I beat you to it, I figured I'd dabbled into one (or more) of the topics you'd chosen.

Anyway, "The Art of War" wasn't a bad book. Best teamed with "Budoshoshinshu" -Daidoji Yuzan, "Bushido: The Warrior's Code" -Nitobe and "The Book of Five Rings" -Musashi (of course, that would assume one was more martial arts minded instead of military minded... so I guess it's up to the individual). I'll have to check out the other two you mentioned... I should probably follow my own Celtic heritage one of these days.

As for anime; I usually watch it in Japanese and read the subtitles when I can't translate (I'm still learning)...

Good luck on getting home soon... I'm sure as hell glad I'm not out there!
