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

from Read Between The Lines · host Robert M. Pirsig

What begins as a summer motorcycle trip across America’s backroads for a father and his young son quickly becomes a profound personal and philosophical odyssey. This is no mere travelogue. It is a gripping journey into the past, a courageous inquiry into the nature of “Quality,” and a search for a bridge between our technology and our humanity. Part road-trip novel, part philosophical quest, this book is an unforgettable exploration of how to live a better, more meaningful life in the modern world.
