You can see three books in the left sidebar. It is my (un)professional opinion that not enough people have read these three books. Thanks to Michael Douglas and Spike Lee, The Art of War is at least known outside historians', meditative, and military circles. But The Book of Five Rings, The Unfettered Mind, and really, still, The Art of War are not used enough as tools for the LSAT and life.

So beginning this week, you'll see a small selection from one of these books or a quote from one of these authors. The post will be a brief rumination on its applicability to life, the LSAT, and everything.
