SeattleUte, so you have read Musashi? Me too. I found it highly inspirational, in the sense of bettering ones self.
Musashi is the one book on that list of which I read the abridged version. But I enjoyed it a lot. I read it after you recommended it on CB. I've picked up another one by the same author called Taiko, and am reading it now. Yes, Mushashi is somewhat inspirational in the sense you stated, esecially if you dream of wholesale slaughtering your enemies. Actually, one of the reasons I read it is for ideas and inspiration with respect to a project of my own I'm working on in which the main character is a decent swordsman, and a man of great religious faith. Kind of a coming of age story.
