Pirsig is a GOOD writer.  And a good writer like a good Asian chef does not
present meat too tough to chew.  He presents bite-sized pieces, attractively
arranged, deliciously seasoned  and cooked just right.  That's what I found
when I sat down to consume ZAMM and Lila.

We who gather here to discuss his ideas, like intellectuallizing.  So does
Pirsig at times.  But it's a choice we make because we like
intellectualizing.  It's not something  forced upon us by the inherent
difficulty of the text.

The MoQ just isn't all that complicated folks.  In fact, its great beauty
lies in its simple explanatory powers - bringing philosophy back to a true
and simple expression of the human heart, where we are in this time and
cutting through a lot of unnecessary intellectualized crap that's been
foisted off on us.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
