Glad you like it Erin.
Funny you should ask, just the other day I ....
.... was wondering if there was any good biographical material other than
all the clues we get in ZAMM and Lila. I notice the Guide to ZAMM is good on
details of the journey and analysis of the book itself, but adds very little
biographical detail. Surely someone has done the public record research
before, even if Bob himself declines interviews. He's too important not to
get this kind of attention surely ?
(I was taken that Bob himself believed he needed to research William James
biography before linking his work to his own, and I was taking a similar
approach. I'm convinced by Pirsig, I just believe I need a clearer
understanding of the man - who is after all the measure of all things.)
My timeline already has 3 or 4 obvious errors, and I have dozens of updates
to add from my latest re-read of Lila. I'm actually planning on simplifying
the rather naff graphical elements of the timeline when I do the update, so
I'm interested in feedback.
Ian.
