Oh and I've read "Zen" too by the way. Thought I was enjoying it until I got about 3/4 of the way through when I completely lost interest in it for some reason.
Same thing happened to "Lord of the Rings" which at the time it seemed I'd dedicated my entire life to reading it. Became a complete chore so I fucked it off with a couple of hundred pages to go.
Loved "The Hobbit" though
