Shogun - James Clavell - Great book, but a commitment
Musashi - Eiji Yoshikawa
John Donohue has three MA adventure books that are quick, fun reads. |

There were a series of "The Ninja" books by Eric Van Lustbader that weren't bad.
Also Marc Olden wrote quite a few books with martial arts themes "Gaijin", Dai-Sho", "Kisaeng" and a few others that I liked.
Amazon will give you a synopsis of these books. |

I read "Zero" by Eric Van Lustbader not too long ago, and it was not too shabby either.
