Summer Reading

In my last post, I made a recommendation regarding a good book on Taoism and food. However, if a person wants to understand some of the essential concepts and thought of this philosophy, it makes sense to read some of the foundational texts like the Tao Te Ching. You could, of course, go to your local bookstore to buy these books or, if available, you can check them out from your local library.

However, in this day and age, you can read and/or download the texts right there on your computer. To this end, here are some links for you to peruse.
