Thank you for taking my remarks in good humour Dennis!
I have boundless admiration for creativity that waits for its time to ripen.
Much that is presented ripe often tastes rather sour?
I am a big fan of Ockham's razor; that which can be put elegantly and simply
is very often near the mark? I feel Wilbur uses many words but says rather
little that could not have been put more simply?
In my view, Pirsig does this wonderfully.
All the very best to you!
Squonk. :-)

LOL ! That disqualifies almost all authors, philosophers, musicians and
scientists I'm familiar with... ;)

PS : with the notable exception of Choderlos de Laclos, author of one and
only one book, "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" ('Dangerous Liaisons'), a
chef-d'oeuvre of french literature... Stephen Frears made a good movie of it
in 1988-89, if I remember correctly. Of course, de Laclos was a noble and
didn't have to work to earn his bread, back then...
