simply amazing, unique book for the everyman.

hahah easy man, its not for everyone. but anyone who reads will understand that every action you take in life should be done with care, with the best quality you can muster. and its not like LOTR... at all

I just finished intro to ethics.. now these names mentioned aren't so arbitrary. I'm on part IV. I can't wait for spring so I can ride again.

That was interesting to see John Sutherland speaking. I wonder what his first impression of the book was; he's kind of portrayed as immature and stubborn, a bit of a blockhead, in the book. At least that's how I took it. Rather, that's how I think Pirsig saw him, but I could sort of identify with him, I guess. I hate getting bogged down in details, also. I'd much rather just take my car to a mechanic, pay my money, and go about my business. I don't hate technology; I just don't care how it works

@timnypafford i wish he was writing a third final book, zen and the art of will always be .... more original then lila? But i think lila has taught me more so far... got 150 pages to go, and im sad to know thats all hes got left :(

@antokindness i feel the same way:)

@lifeinpictures lol i had similar idea before reading... coincidentally i read The Way of Zen by Alan watts just before reading Zen and the Art of MM and it helped. But I don't think you have to read on Zen Buddhism first, but read with an open mind. Curious to hear your thoughts afterwards...

He tells the naked truth. Even the truth on creativity and sad but true on academic philosophy. I know it (got a PhD). Everything is exactly true in every little bit.

I loved the book very much.  but I found Lila to be totally life changing. If you have not read that 1, please do. You will be very glad you did. I read it in three days and wanted more.

This is a very interesting book. I read it first in 1975 and I'm reading it again now, this time with a little more understanding.

I live in Rochester and sometimes wonder if I've ever met Lila or the lawyer she was involved with.
