I suppose my comment is at least in part prompted by having just
finished listening to an audio tape version of ZATAMM. Having read it
several times (oh and yes Lila twice) I was sometimes thrown a little by
the way it had been abridged for the audio version ( BTW did Pirsig have
much input to this ?), however, it did have the positive effect of
prompting me to revisit Chapter 26 and in particular the section on
"Gumption Traps" with the advice ( which should appear in every workshop
manual ) about the need sometimes to just *stare* at the machine to
escape the trap of value rigidity. Just wondered if anyone finds the
practice as addictive as I ( without making any claim to motorcycle
scientist status ) do ?
