I have been interested since reading <em>Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance</em> a few years ago. I don't know why. Why is anyone interested in anything? A quality, I suppose.

Well after he turned 35 around 2500 years ago anyway. Taoism (another LA trend), however, is a crock. One of those lame fads like 'Metrosexuals', or 'Retrosexuals' (being the direct opposite. But we already have a word for the opposite of 'Metrosexual'. Its called 'straight'.) Dear anna,
