Funny, I had to think of David Foster Wallace, as Infinite Jest is one of few books that I couldn't get through. Perhaps I tried too hard ;>)

Have you guys read Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance? An awesome fiction book on Zen and I'm not even a motorcycle guy.

An other book that was one of the most inspiring reads every for me is 'Shantaram'.

Then there's a 1960s movie called A Touch of Zen

And a book on famous thinkers who all needed their daily walks called: Zen and the Art of Walking

All worth a watch or read
