So how did this come about?<\/p>\n
Well, I’ve started reading Hagakure: The Book of the Samaurai <\/em> which I bought at the end of last month<\/a>, and it mentions The Book of Five Rings<\/em><\/a> in the other books you can buy section at the end. I thought I’d seen that at ABC Books as well, so when I had the opportunity to pick up 5K packets just north of ABC Books, of course I volunteered. <\/p>\n And I didn’t find the original Book of Five Rings<\/em>; what I had seen is The Martial Artist’s Book of Five Rings<\/em> by Stephen F. Kaufman. I went to the World Religious section to see if the original might be there, but it was not. Instead, I found The Raven Steals the Light: Native American Tales<\/em>, a Shambhala book by Bill Reid and Robert Bringhurst. <\/p>\n As I only bought two, I figured that was too few for a picture and a proper Good Book Hunting post, but I was so eager that I started to read The Martial Artist’s Book of Five Rings<\/em> at stoplights on the way home. I am eager to finish The Book of the Samaurai<\/em> so I can start on it in earnest.<\/p>\n If you’re jonesing for a Good Book Hunting post, rest assured that the Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library book sale is next week (contra to what I thought, as I trespassed the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds this week to volunteer setting up the sale because I got my weeks mixed up). I don’t think we’ll make it to the Friends of the Christian County Library Book Sale which is this weekend, and our weekend is already chocked.<\/p>\n But I will admit to you, gentle reader, the actual point of the post. I have an admission to make.<\/p>\n Look, ma, I made a meme. Well, I didn’t make a meme. I put text on an image already made into a meme. But that’s what passes for creativity in the 21st century. So how did this come about?
