Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse.   Great book. Just incredible. Carse is a professor of religious studies, and in my opinion, an enlightened man, in the full-bore eastern sense of that word.   I can easily see Pirsig liking this book. It has the powerful and deft application of logic presented with the easy simplicity of an afternoon tea. The man is a master and Pirsig may well have sensed a near equal.   Still, I'd rather have warm beer from a beer can cannibalized for shim stock than most anything in the world.   - Ross ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 6:07 PM Subject: Re: MD Reccomended Reading Hello this is my first post. I thought it would be a good moment to mention a book that I have just finished called "Finite and infinite games" By Carsi. It has quote from pirsig on the back, this is what caught my attention as I had just finished ZMM and LILA this year.   The structure or rules that Carsi lays out in his book has some similarites to Pirsigs works. I have also noticed the usage of chess as a metaphor in Pirsigs work. Myself being a nationally ranked chess master and life long devotee to the game cant help but try to bring up this dimenson of the MQ.
