Book Reviews
- @noahlt Instinct, a sense that the book had some strength I'd missed the first time. Some of my favourite books I very nearly missed: I was bored by them, but sensed some strength I wasn't quite grasping. True of "Zen and the Art", for instance, or "Cyteen". And many others.Link to Tweet
- @dogukanect Fountainhead. If you can’t bring yourself to read Ayn Rand, then Harry Potter And The Methods Of Rationality. If you can’t bring yourself to read fan fiction, Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a clear winner for this list.Link to Tweet

About Book
A narration of a summer motorcycle trip undertaken by a father and his son, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance becomes a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions on how to live. The narrator's relationship with his son leads to a powerful self-reckoning; the craft of motorcycle maintenance leads to an austerely beautiful process for reconciling science, religion, and humanism. Resonant with the confusions of existence, this classic is a touching and transcendent book of life. This new edition contains an interview with Pirsig and letters and documents detailing how this extraordinary book came to be. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
