gdlutz 's review for:
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
by Robert M. Pirsig
I read ZAMM in high school, and something about it stuck with me. I just finished reading it again, and I am amazed that it was assigned to high school students. Yes, the book dives deep into western philosophy which is the basis for our western education, but the philosophy is often thick and swampy, and to make matters worse, it is the philosophy of a madman. A man who can't stop thinking, can't shut off the analysis for even a moment. We, the readers, get dragged through the mire of this madness, with very little reprieve.
Despite the madness and rambling, there is something I find intriguing and enlightening about ZAMM. There are nuggets of truth to be uncovered in these writings, you just have to dig deep, or perhaps, more accutartely, sift through the sludge that is brought up, while working to keep a distance from the madness.
