Notes:
Just throw the fu**ing ball, man! Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes, well, he eats you ; It's down there somewhere, let me take another look ; Dude, you're being very unDude -- The Dude abides and the Dude is not in. Yeah, well, ya know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man ; Phone's ringin', Dude ; New sh** has come to light -- That rug really tied the room together, did it not? You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism at one point. Not in 'Nam, of course ; You mean coitus? ; What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski? ; What do you do, Mr. Lebowski? ; Nothing's fu**ed, Dude -- Enjoyin' my coffee. Sorry, I wasn't listening ; Strikes and gutters, ups and downs ; Some burgers, some beers, a few laughs. Our fu**ing troubles are over, Dude ; Say, friend, ya got any more of that good sarsaparilla?

Add a CommentJeff Bridges doesn't answer all his fan mail - he feels bad about it. Jeff Bridges once got into a disagreement with his hair stylist - he couldn't relax all weekend. I want to be Jeff Bridges.
Disappointing book. Follows the disjointed conversation between Jeff Bridges and his friend, zen master, Bernie Glassman that revolves around Buddhism and somehow tries to weave the character, The Dude, in the film "The Big Lewbowski" into the mix. I found it rather boring and found Bernie to be rather pretentious. I vote for skipping this book and reading something else about Zen Buddhism.
