Thanks to a recent rereading of Franny and Zooey as well as reading Writing Down the Bones by some author whose name escapes me now, I have wanted to find out more about Eastern philosophy which is so prevalent in JDS's writings. Can anyone direct me to some good beginning reading on it all? By the way, Writing Down the Bones is a great book for anyone who is an aspiring writer. I read the whole thing in one night and reread it the next day too. Moving and intelligent. Susan
