Lila: An Inquiry into Morals is Pirsig's second book which is described as the defining work of the Metaphysics of Quality (MOQ).

I loved ZAMM, but Lila is a much better book and even more though-provoking. I've read it 4 times through, and I still don't think I could write a complete review of it.

So if you liked ZAMM, definitely pick up Lila.



I loved ZAMM, and have read it a few times (in college at age 20, then a decade later at age 30, and then once more in my mid-30s).

I tried Lila once in college and found it muddled and self-congratulatory, and gave up on it after just a few chapters.


I agree, I think I read Lila first then went back to ZAMM and was not that impressed by it. I then went and read Lila another 3 three times.


Interesting, because I really did like ZAMM, but I've never heard of Lila. I'll check it out.
