Anyone read both of these? What did you think?

Strangely enough, there was some good advice on bike maintenance in ZATAOMM.

ZATAOMM- mostly incomprehensible, but some interesting ideas.
Lila -mostly incomprehensible...

ZAMM is excellent. As an author, he goes downhill from there...

I learned the coke-can shim from ZAMM.
