    Hi Ian

    [Ian:]
    Talking of Northrop, I'm still working through the Meeting of East and
    West.
    It's a marvellous book. Apart from the MoQ itself, there is little in
    ZMM /
    Lila that's not in Northrop, and a lot more thorough philosophological
    review of how prevalent world-views came to be. Pirsig does of course
    provide shorter sentences and more dramatic novels though :-)

    [Paul:]
    I agree. I read Northrop for the second time recently. Heavy going at
    times but I think it provides a more detailed and historical examination
    of Pirsig's central themes for anyone interested in seeing where Pirsig
    started from. I particularly liked the section on the aesthetic nature
    of oriental culture.
