Bruce Lee died 50 years ago today. Most people remember him as an amazing martial artist but what fewer know is that he was very well-read – his personal library had more than 2,000 books – and was a beginner till the very end. When I read Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse's extraordinary book, I wondered if he had read it too given his recommendation to us which he repeated in the famous 1971 Pierre Berton interview above. According to one website he did read it. Mr. Lee also wanted to publish his magnum opus shown below in 1971 but his busy movie schedule got in the way. Anyway, how many great books can you take in a singe year?
If you can't have enough of Mr. H20 then may I suggest that you head to his daughter Shannon's interesting podcast where you'll learn plenty of details about Jun-Fan? Still standing? Then make sure to watch the 3-season Warrior series if you haven't already.
