[Community_garden] Philosophies of life

[Alliums]

Hi, Folks!

Well, because I'm desperate (YouTube video of the HACC Board meeting coming
this weekend!), I took a gander on Amazon and found 92 hits for "The Book of
Five Rings" - most of which are the Japanese text and one of which was
"Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook, in A Five Ring Binder"!

Someone give me an idea of which translation is the closest to the original
text and/or is the most understandable in translation and I'm buying that
sucker!

Thanks for the help!

If you can find a copy, I prefer "The Book of Five Rings", an ancient (but 
very modern reading) Japanese text that's allegedly about sword fighting, 
but in truth explains how to triumph in virtually every life encounter. The 
'list of rules' alone is all some people need.

I bet the people trying to reclaim Doreen's garden would fall to The Path of

Two Swords as One....
