Hello Waco,<br><br>Thanks for joining the Robert
Pirsig Discussion Group. ZMM had a great and positive
effect on my life as well. It awakened my will to read
good books and gave me an introduction into philosophy
and quality itself!!<br><br>I recently wrote a speech
about Pirsig and his works (I have lost the copy
already!) and read it to my college (americans call it
high-school) class. They seemed to have enjoyed it. I included
Robert Pirsig's feeling on the schooling system and I
think I gave my English teacher a bit of a shock as
well! <br><br>I feel that this is a more relaxed and
less intense alternative to the great www.moq.org
mailing list. Sometimes the list there gets far too
confusing and difficult for a person my age. <br>Here there
is no pressure to post and it is open to any ideas
weither dealing with Pirsigs work or just everyday
philosophy and ethics in action.<br><br>There was certain
plans of creating a movie but it fell through after
pirsig rethought about its value. I agree with Pirsig
not making a movie out of ZMM. The Movie would never
capture the feeling and philosophies of the book. The
whole story would have been dramitised into something
it wasn't and it would do nothing for the book and
Pirsig's philosophy.<br><br>Well I just like to say to our
newest member and I wish you good luck.<br><br>P.S it is
never to early to start reading complicated books to
children. Remember Pirsig was reading his 11 year old son
Walden!! Which is quite hard I have read bits of
it.<br><br>Thanks Geoff,<br>geoffb@...
