Reading List for Jan-13

Rather busy month. Plan to read only one book, pretty long one though.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Enquiry into Values

I'm actually re-reading this one after I had read this about 10years ago. Now with my bike trips, its even more interesting. 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.
