The Te of Piglet, by Benjamin Hoff

More discussion of Taoist principles using Winnie-the-Pooh characters. And again, I found it interesting and once again my reading habits seemed to be at odds with how the book "should" be read. But I rather enjoyed it.

The Tao of Pooh, by Benjamin Hoff

A discourse on Taoism as found in the Winnie the Pooh books. I probably would've gotten more out of this book if I'd been reading it some time other than when I was about to fall asleep. heh. Still, it's a good book, interesting, and a logical world view. I'm not sure what else to say.

Tao Te Ching, translation by Ch'u Ta-kao

Description: A collection of sayings of Lao Tzu. Often puzzling and apprently contradictory.

Comments: I think if I was to read it again, I'd choose a version that has commentary, ie explains what things the various puzzling statements actually mean. Because, oftentimes, the meaning of what he said eluded me.
