- A great book I recently read is American Shaolin: Flying Kicks, Buddhist Monks, and the Legend of Iron Crotch: An Odyssey in the New China
it is one of the most original and entertaining books I have ever picked up. I couldn't put it down. It is about a young guy who travels to China to study Shaolin Kungfu at the Shaolin Temple. He eats bitter the whole way.
