do i need to read the Wu Tang Manual before The Tao of Wu?

[theDZA]

??????

cuz i ordered them both online and the tao of wu came first, should i wait for the wu tang manual or just fuck it and read tao of wu first?

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

i think wu manual is the best place to start, definitely

[Poetic Wun]

they dont completely coinscide but the manual breaks it down more for you.
reading one without the other doesnt matter but i think youll get bored with the manual if you read tao first.

[Paranoid]

having read both books, no i wouldn't say so. read whichever you'd like first
