In Search of a Home: Nineteenth-Century Wendish Immigration
I purchased this when I was on a little quest to get in touch with my dad's family's heritage. It's informative and readable. I especially enjoyed the little section on Wendish folkways.
Zen to Go: Bite-Sized Bits of Wisdom
Lighthearted but impressive collection of quotations on all aspecs of Zen from Life to Death, BC to modern day, & everything in between. A great place to start searching for those aspects of Zen philosophy which interest you. Quips from Yogi Berra to the Buddha make this a wide-ranging and sometimes moving collection I've read time and time again.
Zen to Go: Bite-Sized Bits of Wisdom
very zen in itself, and admittedly a "finger pointing at the moon", this book gives a great flavor of zen and shows zen's varied forms as well as zen's freedom from a particular time. Great concept, great quotes, great book.
Zen to Go: Bite-Sized Bits of Wisdom
Zen to Go is a delightful read and has some good tips on wisdom. For those who are just starting to follw Zen, I would highly recommend starting here as it gives you an insight to Zen.
Zen to Go: Bite-Sized Bits of Wisdom
I first bought a paper copy of this book a few years ago, and enjoy flipping through the collection of quotes whenever I need a bit of inspiration. I bought the Kindle version so I could access the quotes on the go. The content of the book itself is 5-star, but the Kindle version formatting is poor -- it makes all of the quotes run together and doesn't preserve the formatting of the paper version. This is why I only gave it 4 stars. If you haven't read through it, you may want to get the paper copy.
Zen to Go: Bite-Sized Bits of Wisdom
You need to read this book to figure out that you didn't need to read this book.Zen To Go is a compendium of those OMG flashes of insight when words can almost kind of describe the truth of things and maybe-just-maybe you figured something real out. It's a bunch of contradictions(nothing is everything is nothing), a bunch of humor(Yogi Berra is quoted a lot), and all else inbetween.It's the best book I've ever read or ever will read without a doubt, because when I first flipped through it's pages, in a Borders bookstore on a non day, an older, wiser me flipped back.
