Zen Confidential: Confessions Of A Wayward Monk

"I enjoy the occasional poop joke, and books about living in the moment. You might say I prefer — wait for it — scatology to eschatology. So this was the book for me. The author is a cranky misanthrope who goes to a Buddhist monastery to get some big answers and continually rediscovers that mucking about in the daily grind is the big answer. Works for me. (And I read it on vacation in Disney World, a different kind of Zen retreat.)"
