I have Go Rin No Sho (5 Rings), Hagakure, and the Art of War but my favourite book is the Twenty Guding Principles of karate by Funakoshi. It's meanings can be applied to any martial art. For specific information, Taekwondo: The State of the Art by Masters Sung Chul & Jun Chul Whang with Brandon Saltz is an excellent peice of writing giving a comprehensive history of Taekwondo, warm-up stretches, it's sparring techniques, patterns (up to pattern ), the whole nine yards! I also liked a book called Striking Thoughts: Bruce Lee's wisdom for daily living. Just a bit of fun, and not really Martial arts philosphy, just one great man's views n various subjects ranging from training to life in general.
