Musashi

bennett_greely shared a tip "No page turner, but pure zen the whole way through. Magnificent description of Feudal Japan in how people function and it’s scenery. The aspect of Musashi, finding peace within himself through absolute perfection of the way of the sword, is immaculate. No book has had a lasting effect on me like this one has. I’ll call it “subtle motivation.” You don’t really notice it when reading, but looking back at it gives you a feeling of its own."
