Do yourself a favor

And shut-the-hell up! j/k (saw that joke on Letterman awhile ago.)

Elrick: One of the best people to read about Zen is Alan Watts. If you go to the library, he's got a ton of books on zen (and other religions) and monday nights at 11pm on 90.7 fm they play an hour of one of his talks- next time I see u i can give u a copy of some of his mp3s. He was awesome- and he really explains the principles of zen, tao, buddism, whatever. cluck here.
