"The Shaolin Monastery" By Meir Shahar
pretty good read. He's translated a lot of documents and many of the stele at the site
and come up with a fairly accurate portrayal of what the Shaolin monastery is and historically how it has functioned since Tang dynasty.
It's a good read for any martial arts enthusiast.

Seriously, I am reading JAMA, a book about how to become a father and when I have time a book on iterative software development.

Try his "drawing of the dark" an awesome fantasy about...beer, and "the anubis gates"...they all follow sort of a loose cosmology of how magic works in his multiverse.
S- currently reading the yoga sutras of patanjali
