I think the title is just "Lila," and I'll bet I've had
a copy on my bookshelf, with the same intention, longer
than you have. I've failed to get far into it several
times.
As for "Zen and the Art," some lit professors published
papers on the symbolism involved in Pirsig giving the
characters the names he did. This was good for a laugh,
because the characters were real people and he used
their real names.
