I am curious, however, as to how well it presents the principles of taoism. What I read I liked, and have kept with me since then, and I&#8217;m becoming more interested in exploring this further. What may be some good books to start learning more about this with? Any help\/ideas would be appreciated. (And it appears this turned into a few seperate questions&#8230;.
