The Te Of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff

If you have heard of The Tao of Pooh you will have also heard of this book. The two together serve as companion books and to the misfortune of this book, The Tao of Pooh is a much greater book. It is not that The Te of Piglet has poor writing, it is more of a case being a product of its times.

The book focuses a bit on historical footnotes more relevant to the time of the books release and on the political climate in the US during the time period, placing the book as stuck in early 90's America. It does discuss Daoism as expected but putting a part of the political climate of the time and what is often a forgotten part of world history into a book that teaches on Daoism was not a wise move. The book requires context and one that means a history lesson. Not something I think of when I think of books explaining the beliefs within Daoism.

Clarity And Tranquility: A Glide fo Daoist Meditation by Stuart Alve Olson

If you're into meditation, pick up this book. It is detailed on how to the Daoist styled mediation, but that is at the end of the book. Before that there is plenty of writing that is best understood if you already have knowledge on Daoist terms and will likely be most interesting to those who are more serious practitioners of the Dao.
 Reading the whole book can be worthwhile to the more casual reader trying to learn the meditation style presented but just sticking on the guide on how to do the meditative practices may be best to certain peoples.

Folk Legends From Tono by Yanagita Kunio and Sasaki Kizen (Translation by Ronald A. Morse)

If you're into folklore this is going to be a go to book to read and is currently the book most often brought up in regards to Japanese folklore and for good reason. The many short stories make the book easy to pick up and read, they're fascinating and give detail into the stories shared in a small part of Japan.
