Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse.
Great book. Just incredible. Carse is a professor
of religious studies, and in my opinion, an enlightened
man, in the full-bore eastern sense of that word.
I can easily see Pirsig liking this book. It has the
powerful and deft application of logic presented with
the easy simplicity of an afternoon tea. The man is
a master and Pirsig may well have sensed a near equal.
Still, I'd rather have warm beer from a beer can cannibalized
for shim stock than most anything in the world.

Hello this is my first post. I thought it would be a good moment to mention a
book that I have just finished called "Finite and infinite games" By Carsi.
It has quote from pirsig on the back, this is what caught my attention as I
had just finished ZMM and LILA this year. The structure or rules that Carsi
lays out in his book has some similarites to Pirsigs works. I have also
noticed the usage of chess as a metaphor in Pirsigs work. Myself being a
nationally ranked chess master and life long devotee to the game cant help
but try to bring up this dimenson of the MQ.
