how was the weekend? hopefully filled with solid bunnies.

The edition I read is by Robert Henricks ("translated based on the recently discovered Ma-wang-tui texts") with his introduction and commentary. I completed it the same night I started it. Actually, it's the type of book that is finished before it even starts. Exceedingly self-righteous and full of indignation at everyone except for itself. I kinda related to it. Ha! (Anyways, so I guess I already read two of the books you recommended way before the deadline I set for myself.) But then aren't politically-inclined books inherently a little bit like power-hungry megalomaniacs striving to justify the superior status it bestows upon itself?

You mentioned the motorcycle zen book. MY DAD HAS THE SAME BOOK! I always just looked upon the book, as it idly rested on the dusty bookshelves and laughed while thinking "oh, the absurdity of comparing zen and motorcycles!" WHOOPS. I didnt know it was an interesting read, let alone a famous/popular book. There are so many things I have yet to read, it's embarrassing.
