Crazy Wisdom
Irreverence, multiple perspectives, absurdity, cosmic unity, accepting circumstances, getting along--Crazy Wisdom, a cult classic on the wild side of philosophy is more than just a romp through titillating ideas. Wes Nisker actually hits on a string of similarities East and West that unites the visions of the poet, philosopher, artist, and guru. This book will take you on an enchanting and mind-expanding journey, liberally seasoned with quotations from Mark Twain, Chuang-tsu, various Zen masters, Albert Camus, Allen Ginsberg, Rumi, and other crazy fools gushing with wisdom.

I immediately popped it open to random pages. Looks like the way to go. A linear reading of something called crazy wisdom seems counterintuitive.

since Feb 17 1990 the wisdom presented and my agreement to participate have reverberated in the background of my life. Worth the effort to employ as part of a "choosing" logic when encountered strangeness parts one's way from normality.

Just found this in the philosophy section in the public library... and it is PERFECT! Finally, someone else who uses the term "crazy" in an admirable tone to describe the most paradoxical and profound truths of spirituality and life. I just started it, and already love it. Read this book if you want to understand me!

Was interesting at the beginning but got redundant and ponderous as it went on.
