ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE

Books deflowered me, but not every book gives me the power to differentiate it. You know, every book doesn't have the suaveness to magnetize your soul. The words sexy or beautiful are reserved for books and Greek arts. They deserve it. They deserve to capture your mind. Every time you start reading a new book, it gives you storage in the mind where you can pile up your imagination in ways you could never have thought of before.

Last week, I started re-reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig for the third time. The book, published in the mid-70s, soon became a bestseller after its release. I love the way Pirsig defines human life in a more dimensional way. In the book, you don’t encounter philosophical thinking that merely dusts off your brain. It’s the simple story of motorcycle riding across America with the author’s son, Chris, who tragically died at the age of 22, after the publication of this book. Four hundred eighteen pages of insight left me contemplating my whole week.

Pirsig believes that we need to change the way we see things to truly understand our surroundings. At first, the book starts with a distinctive motorcycle ride with a couple, and he talks about the beauty of riding. At the end of this blog I will recommend five list of brilliant books to read. that books changed my life of thinking and observing existence as well. Please go and make a cup of coffee and scroll.
