I’ve been practicing the Japanese martial art of Aikido since I was 17. Morihei Ueshiba, the founder, was one of the most amazing martial artists ever known and this is his story.

This book saved my life. Nuf sed.

I love the way Bukowski makes the awkward misery of adolescence seem like a badge of honor.

This is the best book I’ve read that has come out in the last 10 years. He does such an amazing job of tackling the complexities of modern America while creating characters that are just hypocritical enough to seem real.
