I personally love this book on I Ching by RGH Siu called The Man of Many Qualities, also reprinted as The Portable Dragon. This book is dated, but what he did was go through and find illustrative examples of every I Ching hexagram in works of literature. Its a brilliant concept, performed, unfortunately, with books we no longer read. Somebody should do this with Shakespeare, LOTR, or even GoT. But what a brilliant conept, bringing it down to earth in a way that is not vague and abstract. He is s forgotten genius whose page was removed from Wikipedia as someone whose contributions were deemed too trivial. No so!
