A review by vagrantshark
An Introduction to Zen Buddhism by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki

Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.

For the first time in nearly a decade, I've been unable to actually finish a book. Despite being only 100+ pages, Suzuki crams a 20+ page forward by Carl Jung which wasn't really necessary. I'm no stranger to various Eastern thought, such as Taoism, Buddhism, etc; but this is an obtuse, dense, and, to be perfectly honest, angrily written collection. I conceptually understand what is being said and unsaid here, I do. I just couldn't get past the vilifying responses to critics early in the reading. Which made exceedingly little sense to bother responding to at all. Just move on.
