Could you explain the significance for those of us who have never heard of the writer or the book?

I’m guess it’s either Hegel’s Phenomenology of the Spirit or Heidegger’s Being and Time — since Heidegger never wrote a book entitled Phenomenology of the Spirit.
Those two works share the title for the most difficult widely read pieces of philosophy ever written.

Sorry, meant Hegel.
And, it’s funny because this is probably the pinnacle of impenetrable western philosophical thought–not something you usually associate Buddhist priests with reading on the train.
