What is it about Alan Watts' writing that interests you? I ask because a friend has been having . . . I think he's too young for a "mid-life crisis" but he's going through something. He's going bananas with yoga and all kinds of writings related to zen, particularly Alan Watts and who-knows-what-else, but it's gotten to the point where I've been thinking about my own experiences with Buddhism. I am hesitant to read the books he recommends though, because honestly, from the outside it looks like he's losing his mind.
