I just finished Daoism and Anarchism by John A. Rapp which I really enjoyed.
Yesterday I started reading Against the Grain by James Scott.

The Encyclopedia of Celtic Wisdom, A Celtic Shaman's Sourcebook. I found a lot of neat history in it. The title says encyclopedia but it is a book, not a list of defined things. I got it from a really old pagan/wiccan lady that grows all kinds of exotic plants in her house. She gave me a ton of stuff. Next year I should be able to turn people into toads.

Daoism and Anarchism
I couldn't get through it! But it's a cool book with a lot of great info for anarchists.
I like that story, Peach Blossom Spring, and how he explains its significance, also.

Any good? I've never heard of it.

I almost got stuck at the second part about Mao but after that were the appendices with translations of old Daoist texts, which I can recommend! Probably the thing that kept me reading was my fascination with Chinese culture.
