For example, I am now about halfway through Henry Miller's Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch, as recommended by Dan. As I read, its apparent why this would 'link' to Pirsig's writings, both in genre and perspective. I think Ant was making (is making? has made?) a library or "bookshelf" of works that would fit as, for lack of a better word, 'sympatico' with Pirsig's thesis. There are the obvious ones, of course (like Granger and Crawford), but ones like Big Sur by Miller would have flown completely outside of my radar had not Dan first recommended it. 

I am halfway through ”The Rosy Crucifixion” which I think is one of the projects Miller was working on at Big Sur. There are some quite nice passages here and there. I have also read almost everything by Henry’s beloved mistress, Anaïs Nin.
