if you're going this level of entry-level pleb, you should start with the way of zen by alan watts and skip pirsig unless you have some strange hard-on for memoirs.

the golden rule is don't read anything by japanese or american zennists. start with the platform, heart, lotus and diamond sutras. also read the records of the great masters, linji, zhaozhou and yunmen.
