I've been working with this book recently and I've found it fairly useful. It isn't perfect—there are a few flubs with the pinyin and Sanskrit, and I think it needed more decisive input from an editor—but the selection of texts is good and I've learned a lot so far.

the reason so much Chinese literature in English translation is kind of staid and boring is that the translators are censoring it, cleaning it up, making it more presentable, more aseptically "modern"
in reality, a lot of Ming-Qing novels are often quite... angular; that's really their house style

Worth noting that this is a continuation of a very, very ancient discipline. Although back in 1815 BCE—when someone was asked to draw this one up—they went far beyond 12 when studying multipliers.

materiality of daoist practise: certain daoist talismans must be drawn with cinnabar ink to work. The type of ink called 'fishes playing with lotuses' (2) is >50% cinnabar; the one called 'myriad years red' (3) is ~20%. cheaper ones dont contain any cinnabar www.facebook.com/javegohks/po...

one thing you can do to be a better writer IMMEDIATELY is to break sentences with more than two clauses into multiple sentences.
overly long sentences ruin flow and sow confusion.
