I read a fantastic book called The Pyjama Game: A Journey into Judo while I was on holiday.
It's written by a journalist called Mark Law and it traces his gradual interest and subsequent immersion the world of judo as a practitioner as well as tracing the history of the martial art in its political, sporting and social context.
It's a fantastically well-researched book and a thoroughly entertaining read. It essentially does for judo what Angry White Pyjamas by Robert Twigger did for aikido and is every bit as good.
Well worth a look whether you're a martial artist or not.
