What nonfiction book are you currently reading?

[Jacky Zuki]

Books on the reading pile at the moment...

The Empty Mirror by Janwillem Van De Wetering - the diary of a young Dutch student's eighteen months learning Zen in a Japanese monastery. Very much like the predecessor to Angry White Pyjamas with more Zen and no martial arts.

A Natural History of Latin by Tore Janson - just to brush up on my basic grammar.

The Bartitsu Compendium Vol.2 by Tony Wolf - found in a charity shop, wish I could trace the previous owner as I have long been interested in Bartitsu.

And a load of odds and sods of archaeological papers that I keep in a rack by the lavatory for bog-browsing.

DIG YOUR WELL BEFORE YOU'RE THIRSTY by Harvey Mackay

 

[Ademadis]

Currently working through 'How to Defend Yourself Against Armed Assault', Imi Sde-Or and Eyal Yanilov's book depicting Krav Maga techniques.

Honestly I'd recommend it, it's simple and easy at explaining actions, and most of the techniques shown can be easily performed by someone of any martial arts experience.

With a quick glance at my current books:

• Highly Paid Expert (Debbie Allen)
• A Client a Day, the Coffee Shop Way (Tonya Hoffman)
• The Emotions of Normal People (William Marston)

I think that's all of them at the moment.
