Zen...
...and the art of motorcycle maintenance.
Is it one of those 'must read' before you die books or is it best left in the library?  Your views appreciated....

Re: Zen...
Like my father says, get the book, read 100 pages, make up your own mind...
Nah, I liked it. |

I liked it. It's not about bikes though!

Re: Zen...
I didn't think it was that good. Some very good parts, but it's a bit aimless and confused. No wonder really considering the writer's state of mind but that doesn't make a great book if you ask me.

Re: Zen...
Very good. Took me 3 attempts finish it and to 'get it' properly, but well worth it.
As others have said, it's not really about bikes (although you'll find it easier to understand the book, having ridden and worked on bikes). |
