Hello:
This is killing me.
ZMM & LILA could also be in the "writing manuals section," "the books
by guys whose last name begins with 'P' section," or "books the color
of Pepto Bismol that sort of make me nauseous, but I love anyhow
section."
Lines are arbitrary and therefore not to be trusted. Pirsig agrees and
says so much early on in ZMM which is, I think, ironically the genesis
for an argument one might make for putting said tomes (ZMM at least) in
the Buddhism section.
Not that I would make such an argument, but I think there is a case to
be made.
Just a thought. Sorry. Carry on.
Best regards,
Chuck
