I think (if I remember correctly) that Spirit of Zen is Watts' first book on Zen, actually his first book on anything. And, as such, it doesn't have the breadth and depth of his later works. It's a short book, and a simple book. When I read it, I must have been about 23, and having grown up Catholic, I had never been exposed to Eastern thought, so it kind of exploded in my brain and mind and body. I would probably recommend some of his later works, honestly, even though this one stimulated in me the inner knowledge that there was more to existence than Sunday Mass.
