    Hi Mark and Steve

    While you're reading some Kerouac, his "The Dharma Bums" has much to say
    about "It" and is a great read for those interested in American Zen in
    the fifties. It chronicles the relationship between the "static,"
    traditional Buddhist narrator Ray (Jack Kerouac) and his "Dynamic," Zen
    Lunatic friend Japhy (Gary Snyder). It was with this book that my
    interest in Zen Buddhism actually started, and it was through further
    reading about Zen that I was led to ZMM.

    Cheers

    Paul
