Reviews

"Profoundly important... full of insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas... It is intellectual entertainment of the highest order." --The New York Times "It lodges in the mind as few recent novels have... The book is inspired, original... As the mountains gentle toward the sea--with father and child locked in a ghostly grip--the narrative tact, the perfect economy of effect defy criticism... The analogies withMoby Dickare patent. Robert Pirsig invites the prodigious comparison... What more can one say?" --The New Yorker "It's a miracle.. sparkles like an electric dream. Freshness, originality... that seduces you into loving motorcycles, as tender in their pistons as the petals in the Buddah's dawn lotus." --The Village Voice, "Profoundly important... full of insights into our most perplexing contemporary dilemmas...

Synopsis

The extraordinary story of a man's quest for truth. It will change the way you think and feel about your life. "The cycle you're working on is a cycle called 'yourself.'" "The study of the art of motorcycle maintainence is really a study of the art of rationality itself. Working on a motorcycle, working well, caring, is to become part of a process, to achieve an inner peace of mind. The motorcycle is primarily a mental phenomenon." -- Robert M. Pirsig

Mindfulness part one............
Awesome book about life and being the kind of person who fixes thinks and is engaged with life. Mindfulness. A little too philosophical for me Iin some places but the other parts are just amazing. In some ways similar to SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT . these books are WAY more into the topic than the title suggests. I would say these books are a must read for everybody from accountants to mechanics.

If I could put time in a bottle. "Jim Croce"
I've seen this book for years searching for books. But I didn't bother to purchase and read it. Sometimes books need to find you and the time just isn't right. I had recently lost my dad and once again this book popped up. This time I purchased it. I found it at times hard to follow, sometimes a bit slow, but compelling. I couldn't put it down for long. I found myself stealing away time with the book. It's a great book. The perspective is intriguing and to me personally seems to offer a lot of answers to the when, why, and what of modern life. Everyone will find something special in this book. I highly suggest this as a must read. It appears to have an almost cult following and now I understand why.I've seen this book for years searching for books. But I didn't bother to purchase and read it.

QUICK TAKE: A father, a son & a REAL cross-country trip
A FESTIVUS MAXIMUS QUICK TAKE REVIEW (*NO SPOILERS*). What you need to know about this book: 1. You should consider it NON-FICTION. It reads best if you accept it as being autobiographical. 2. This book tells two parallel stories, and alternates back-and-forth between them. One of these stories is easy to follow; the other, however, is substantially more difficult ... but it is worth the effort. 3. The first, most basic story is a relatively easy-to-read and simple to understand travelogue: a man is taking a motorcycle trip across the country with his age-twelvish son, hoping to "re-connect" with him. In this story, the author describes the beauty and simplicity of rural 1960's America, along with the interpersonal realities of spending many hours together sharing a single ...

This book tells two parallel stories, and alternates back-and-forth between them. One of these stories is easy to follow; the other, however, is substantially more difficult ... but it is worth the effort. 3. The first, most basic story is a relatively easy-to-read and simple to understand travelogue: a man is taking a motorcycle trip across the country with his age-twelvish son, hoping to "re-connect" with him. In this story, the author describes the beauty and simplicity of rural 1960's America, along with the interpersonal realities of spending many hours together sharing a single motorcycle on a long trip. To pass time on the trip, the author narrates to the reader a second, more complicated, deeply philosophical story which the author refers to as a Chautauqua. In his Chautauqua, the author recounts the events in his life which created the necessity for him to re-connect with his son: how he became obsessed with a philosophical construct called "Quality" to the point where he could think of nothing else, culminating in his wife involuntarily committing him in a psychiatric facility. 4. The two stories -- the travelogue and the Chautauqua -- eventually collide, as the author finds himself drawn to the western University where his psychiatric descent began. It is a compelling, intellectual journey, alternating between joyful, insightful, humorous and profoundly sad. 5. The Epilogue to the 10th anniversary edition contains both a tragic postscript and a comforting outlook for the future. 6. The book doesn't really discuss Zen philosophy, nor does it discuss much motorcycle maintenance. 7. I've read the book, cover to cover, every year since 1979 ... and each time I get something new out of it. That, I think, is the mark of a truly extraordinary book. Enjoy.
