Customer Review:
This is not normally the type of book I read,but I am so glad I did.It's moving, and amazing. The story being recounted is quite interesting.

| 4. | ![]() | Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
from William Morrow & Company
Customer Review:
For those who are unfamiliar with philosophy, this is a very accesible book with some nice insights.
It reads like a train (although you might want to pause once in a while to think about some paragraphs).
It is a bit outdated, and I have some personal remarks concerning a few topics. | 4.0 / 5.0
