I read just about everything. Magizine wise I'm a regular reader of Black Belt monthly, Yoga Retreat, EG, VeggieLife, Dancing Dragon, National Geographic, Travel Agent, and NAPMA. sweatdrop Yet strangely enough I'm not subscribed to any of them.
I do read manga/doujinshi whenever I get the chance. Not to mention my friends' fanfiction.
As for books... I'm reading the 'Book of Five Rings' for the fifth time (I strongly recommend it to any martial artist.) Friday Night Lights, and Encyclopedia of the Dead and After Life.
Yeah... sweatdrop I'm a nerd.

Do you read the eastern philosophers at all? Sun Tzu? Miyamoto Musashi? Confucius? Sun tzu was not a philosopher in my opinion. He was more a tactician who sometimes incorporated morals into his tactics. I have not gotten around to Musashi and Confucius. Well at least not fully.

DarklingGlory Yeah well I know I've read book number ten, and things are starting to come to a head, it'd be nice to have some form of resolution to it after all these years... (started readin em about ten years ago) Wheel of time is my favorite series. I started reading them a couple of years ago. Maybe...2001. Everytime I got one of the books, I read it in a week. They were all pretty spectacular, except for the tenth one, which kind of disappointed, but was still ok. That one was apparently written to get the boring stuff out of the way so the final two can be better. Can't wait for the next one.

lol, reading, not my strong point in my life...lol... But when it comes to martial arts I usually browse through any of the magazines that my master has in the dojangs waiting area, I think there mostly old copies of black belt, alot with chuck noris on the cover and stuff like that.(and In my opinion chuck noris isn't really that great of a martial artist, yeah he's in great shape, but like jackie chan he's gone totally hollywood, ohwell.)

Ihabia DarklingGlory Yeah well I know I've read book number ten, and things are starting to come to a head, it'd be nice to have some form of resolution to it after all these years...

That one was apparently written to get the boring stuff out of the way so the final two can be better. Can't wait for the next one. I'd have to agree, it did seem be very much a setting up book, like it was an extended epilogue of the previous one and prologue of the next one, but it has suprised me how well the quality has been maintained thru all ten books. Most other series's I've read that have got to that many books have gone down hill all the way thru. The Raymond Feist books for example, the first one Magician is one of my all time favourite fantasy books and I still enjoy rereading it, the second one was really good but not quite as good and so on to the point I didn't even bother getting his last two. David (and his bro apparently) Eddings is another good example, the Belgariad was awesome, the series after really good, but the last series, the Tamuli I think, was the same old stuff with different characters and the ones he's released since then have been really really bad. So ten books and still going strong is pretty good going.

I'm going to have to agree with you on that one. To write ten books and keep the level of quality up throughout, is quite a feat. Have you ever read "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin?

Yeah, it's not bad. It's a bit more...gritty, and realistic, than wheel of time. I'd recommend it. One thing though...don't get attached to the main characters, if you do read it.
