I also have quite a few books of tap, as well.
They include (again in no particular order):
Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee by Dee Henderson
Psalms, A Translation with Commentary by Dr. Robert Alter
The Art of Biblical Literature by Dr. Robert Alter
The Art of Biblical Poetry by Dr. Robert Alter
The Art of War by Sun Tzu
Jesus and the Gospels by Craig Blomberg
Jerusalem, The Biography by Simon Sebag Montefiore
Ninja: 1,000 Years of the Shadow Warrior by John Man
Samurai: The Last Warrior by John Man
The Passion of the Western Mind by Dr. Richard Tarnas
Religion and Magic in Ancient Egypt by Dr. Rosalie David
A few of these I started, and put down, as they are quite dense, and not easy to read. Lord help me get through them!

Which translation of Sun Tzu? I have a copy I re-read every so often that has commentary by several Chinese military generals/strategists from long ago, along with the translator's annotations.
What is your opinion/synopsis of Man's Ninja book? Is he a Hatsumi cultist or does he stick to historical fact?
