Tao of Gung Fu: A Study in the Way of Chinese Martial Art

I'd like to learn a martial art at some point, preferably sooner rather than later, and I think reading some of Bruce Lee's writings is probably a good starting point. This book is a bit of a history of the Chinese art of gung fu, a bit of a basic instruction manual. While it's definitely not a standalone reference, or enough to make you into a martial arts expert, it's a great introductory source of information about all sorts of different kinds of martial arts.
