Zen & Art Motorcycle Maintenance (25th Annv. Edn.)

'You should read it on the road, on a mountainside, at the bottom of the ocean. It should be a set book in any serious course of any study, so multi-applicable are its intentions. For instance, if you wanted to be a motorcycle mechanic it should be read before any technical material. If you wanted to be a man of God, it should be read before you decide to be. And if you wanted to write a book, it should be read before you invest in a typewriter...Read the goddamn thing and you'll see what I mean. The very heart of things - that's where Pirsig is coming from' Street Life
