Book Review of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values
reviewed Funny thing about this boook. on + 13 more book reviews


I had never bought a copy of it, yet for years I would find it sitting on my bookshelf.
Several times I have moved, after selling most of my books, including this one, then I would find it on my bookshelf a few months later.
Finally got the hint and read the darn thing.
Many people say it changes the way you look at life and the whole experience of living.
They are totally correct.

I have moved many times again since I first read the book, and the bookshelf always had the familiar lilac cover snuggled amongst the other volumes.
I would pick up extra copies and give them away when people expressed an interest in the book.
My then 19 year old son said it was the most important book I had ever given him.

Strangely, I no longer have a copy, and it is time to read the book again, something I try to do every few years, so I am ordering it today on PBS.

Read it.
Read it every once in awhile, you will find new prespectives.
Get several copies and share them with friends. I'm betting they will thank you, several times over.
