Any thoughts on The Book of Five Rings? Is it a good book to pull concepts from?

well....kinda.
The writer killed a lot of people, and this book is what he seemed to think was important and helpfull to anyone else that wanted to kill people.

Okay... Well I don't want to kill anyone :nervous:, but I found it somewhat insightful. A few things made more sense after reading it. I guess I wanted to know what other people thought of the work.
