Chris, Just picked up a copy the other day. I want to finish "Sailing
alone around the world" by Josh Slocum first. I'll let ya know what I
think. I might have to read it a few times, eh? Ciao

Has anyone read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence" by Robert
Pirsig? Killer book, although (in the author's words) "it is not very
factual about Zen Buddhism or motorcycle maintainence." Hard read tho'.
I'm on my fourth time through it and I just now am starting to understand
the real meaning behind the story. Probably take four more times through to
really get what Pirsig is saying. Very deep, convoluted, f**d up tale of a
Father and Son cross country motorcycle journey in the early 70's
If he'd rode a Guzzi, he'd have had a whole lot less maintainence to worry
about. ;)
Ciao!
