Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals

I haven't read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, but from what I understand, Pirsig spends the entire book arriving at the notion of Quality. In Lila, he expands this into a metaphysical framework, which has since come to be called the Metaphysics of Quality ([]). It's more of a philosophical treatise than a novel, and the MoQ is an interesting and appealing framework.
I may actually not get around to reading ZMM, but Lila stands well on its own.

I found ZMM to be far superior to Lila, which was rather a letdown to me after waiting so many years for his next book. I think he must have been one of those writers who had one great book inside him. I mean his conclusion here, that all people have worth, is presented as some astonishing revelation, and of course it is. It's just that it's a revelation that quite a few others have had before him.

If you liked Lila, then you MUST read zen.
From time to time I still look for this on Kindle, and it's still not available. I'll have to look for a paper copy...Raja, did you ever get around to reading "Zen..."?
Nope. I've had a paper copy for years, but never read it.
