timpurches 's review for:
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values
by Robert M. Pirsig
There’s a good story in here somewhere, one about a motorcycle journey across the States, a man's relationship with his son and his troubled past. But rather than being fully developed it’s used as a vehicle for the author to expound his philosophical ideas. Now, I’m not averse to a bit of philosophy, but if I’m going to read it I’m going to pick a well respect author, not the musings of some amateur, especially if they're about metaphysics, my least favourite field. Loads of people seem to like this book, but I’ve never seen it considered a significant work of philosophy, and having struggled through it I’m not surprised.
