I added this book to my reading list a long time ago, when I was really interested in Zen Buddhism.

I didn't read it then, and I didn't get too far in my Zen pursuit. Maybe it's for the best. As Suzuki would put it, I didn't get the "big mind" then. I probably don't get it now, either.

This book went much smoother than I expected. It feels more like listening to a Zen master than reading a book--which I guess was the point.

It was a worthwhile read.
