If you've ever given idle thought to achieving Zen enlightenment, you might want to read this book instead.

If you grew up in the Jersey suburbs, went to junior high in the '70s, or have ever set foot in a dojo or kwoon anywhere/anytime, you should definitely read this book. You'll find (endearingly or maybe depressingly) familiar ground.

Salzman is really just a great writer, no matter the subject. (I even sprang for a hardcover copy of his book about teaching at a juvenile detention facility . . .)
