okay, on the one hand, that makes this title *REALLY* appropriate...

on the other--I *know* I didn't learn that when I dabbled. {sighs and adds another thing to learn about onto her lists}

I really recommend the Wilhelm/Baynes text. It's a scholarly translation, with a ton of appendices, and it takes the historical context of the I Ching into account. It's fascinating reading, just as philosophy, even without casting a single hexagram. That translation still seems to be the standard for serious study.
