The Rough Guide to Unexplained Phenomena 

   This is a very odd book.  The book covers the usual  UFO's, ghosts, Monsters and weird pictures, but it goes beyond these somewhat "normal" things for books of this genre and  covers such true oddities as "Rat Kings," Monkey Chains, Animal councils and law-courts (really weird) talking cats dogs and calculating horses (one of the most intriguing and maybe good for tax time, I don't know).  One of the things I liked about the book is that the authors do offer some dose of skepticism and don't blindly report everything in the book.

How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci

   Ok, this has nothing to do with Strength training, but this is a fascinating book that quite frankly, changed my life for the better.  The book is about the genius of Da Vinci, and how his genius extended to all areas of human endeavor.  There is a connection with da Vinci and strength, however, in that he was known to bend horseshoes.

Soft cover edition

Asian Fighting Arts 

   This is the definitive work on the subject.  Although I am not a Martial Arts expert, I own this book and it is highly recommended.  I friend of mine who is very knowledgeable about Martial Arts told me that most other books borrow heavily from this work.  Get the source!
