Just as the title reads, I would love to know what some of your recommended readings are from the Temple's Library! Or any that you just enjoyed :)

I'm quite enjoying the books under the Jedi tab and TOTJO materials but don't know where else to go for some juicy info/reading.


May the Force be with you all!!

Bushido: The Warriors Code
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

If you're a pop culture fan, look up the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series. They explain the philosophy hidden in modern movies and TV shows. The Harry Potter and Simpsons editions were especially enlightening.

And they've got a Star Wars one!

Though I think mine's outdated, they have an Ultimate Star Wars and Philosophy which I think has entirely new articles...? I'll have to check. Still haven't finished the um... non-ultimate one...

Unrelated by series but related by concept, I've also got The Dharma of Star Wars, and... I understand there's The Tao of Star Wars but I haven't been able to find it.

I mean, not in the Library, but still good to get the mind thinking.

I'm going to tackle the Ultimate Star Wars and Philosophy next, though I'm already familiar with a lot of the philosophical inspiration.

I haven't read The Tao of Star Wars, but I have the Tao of Yoda by D.W. Kreger. It is the Tao Te Ching translated from Chinese without reordering the words for proper English syntax. It ends up sounding the way Yoda talks. It's pretty interesting.

I've also seen the Tao of Pooh. It's the TTC according to Winnie The Pooh and Friends.

That. Sounds. Amazing.

It sounds so weird but strangely attractive to have it read in that form! Thanks for all the recommendations :)
