Looking for some books. Love philosophical literature. Would love something with introspective basis and life lessons you may or may my agree with.

I think most good lit is going to be philosophical.

maybe not as overtly as ZaMM but still there.

try the book, "the snow leopard" by peter mathiessen. it's one of the better books on Buddhism mixed with a great story. and it's non fiction too.

I'm surprised how often I see this book mentioned here. Do others here ride bikes also? I thought I was one of the few, if not only. A while back I was given a gift certificate for a place that sells motorcycle related products (gear, accessories, etc.) and I bought that book. Haven't read it yet, but it is on the list somewhere.
