When I was in the 7th grade at a private school, I shared a classroom with Bruce Lee’s daughter, Shannon. I remember her fondly as one of the few kids who would help me out (we had to share textbooks). She’s written a book about her father called “Be Water, My Friend: The Teachings of Bruce Lee.”

Which Dracula movie adaptation is most faithful to the original Bram Stoker book? Cinemassacre wanted a definitive answer, so they selected 12 contenders and put them up to the test. This counts theatrical and television, but no sequels, spinoffs, or spoofs. My favorite came in a close 2nd!
A while back, I shared this video about one of the most mysterious books in the world, written in an unknown and indecipherable text. Well, it took a Bristol University linguist two weeks to figure out that it’s the only known example of written “proto-Romance” language, the precursor to Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian, Catalan, and Galician. “The language was ubiquitous in the Mediterranean during the Medieval period, but it was seldom written in official or important documents because Latin was the language of royalty, church, and government. As a result, proto-Romance was lost from the record, until now.”

Hanta Yo - An American Saga - This is the story of an original people, a multigenerational saga which reveals for the first time an American Indian culture from the inside. Based on a document recorded on tanned hide by a member of the Mahto band of the Teton Sioux, Hanta Yo takes us into the lives of two families of this band and describes their world as it was from the late 1700s to the 1830s, before the white man came onto the red man's territory, before any influencing contact with traders and missionaries. Hanta Yo is a major achievement in the exploration of American Indian culture. More than fact, more than fiction, Hanta Yo has the authority of a detailed ethnographic study and the adventure and excitement of a novel.. A linguistic tour de force, it was translated from modern English into a now-archaic Dakotah/Lakotah dialect, and then re-translated into an English based on Webster's 1806 edition and faithfully reflecting the Indian idiom. In a very real sense Hanta Yo is a spiritual travelogue, for here are persons whose lives demonstrate a memorable example of habitual spiritual consciousness. It is a book which takes us to the spiritual source not only of the native American Indian but of America itself.
