Juggling 1-2-3

Author: Henrik Lind
Genre: Self Help?

So I didn't read this whole book cover to cover, but I browsed through and picked a couple things I'd like to work on. The thing with a juggling book is they can assign you weeks (or months) of work in a single page.

Good book though. Good photos, good descriptions, step by step instructional methods. The first time I tried to learn how to juggle I was given three balls and told to throw them in the air until I could juggle. That was a poor method. Much better to find a good step by step method.

Howl's Moving Castle

Author: Diana Wynd Jones
Genre: Fantasy
Date Finished: September 2, 2007

As with many of Diana Wynd Jones' books, I never really know what's going on until the end when things are kind of cleared up. It was a good book though. A recommendation from Sophie, my training partner in China last year.

Sword Imperatives: Mastering the Kung Fu and Tai Chi Sword

Author: Grandmaster Ju-Rong Wang & Master Wen-Ching Wu
Genre: Martial Arts
Date Finished: September 1, 2007

This book has some basic exercises, the Green Dragon form and the Tai Chi 32 form. To be honest, I was hoping for more basic exercises. Somewhat along the lines of Taiji Sword, Classical Yang Style by Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming
