Alan Watts is awesome!

I've been curious about Alan Watts since I caught some of his recorded lectures on KPFK here in the LA area a while back. (I hardly even listen to KPFK - it's a bit too left for me in general.)
I bought his book Nature, Man and Woman a couple years ago but failed to really get into it to any depth.
More recently though I picked up The Way of Zen and I'm finding it to be quite stimulating. His ability to enunciate some of the concepts of Zen and Hinduism is really astounding. It does require quite a high level of concentration to comprehend though. Not the best thing for a light read before bed...
