"The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called 'yourself.'" One of the most important and influential books of the past half-century, Robert M. Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" is a powerful, moving, and penetrating examination of how we live and a meditation on how to live better. The narrative of a father on a summer motorcycle trip across America's Northwest with his young son, it becomes a profound personal and philosophical odyssey into life's fundamental questions. A true modern classic, it remains at once touching and transcendent, resonant with the myriad confusions of existence and the small, essential triumphs that propel us forward.

"It is filled with beauty. . .a finely made whole that seems to emanate from a very special grace."--Baltimore Sun i love this book because i can read it every few years and still find something in it that is new or affects me in a different way. thought provoking and life changing, it stays with you long after a book should ..if not a lifetime! - Roz GreeningWhen I started reading this book, one of the characters (described as a ghost) seemed distracting and unneccesary. I still remember the precise feeling of awakening when I realised his significance. Whilst I have subsequently read many illuminating and even revelatory books, this was the first to prove that writing, like all great art, can change the way you see the world. - Ed Barrett Write a review
