Haha, that exactly describes my experience also. At the time I thought it was due to a language barrier - that my english wasn't good enough (2nd language) but I guess it's the book. Definitely a unique piece of work, at the very least.

I echo this - after Zen, Lila was a huge disappointment, eventually degenerating into a long rant about the author's unhappiness with aspects of his existence.
