IRB Intro #2

This marking I have decided to read, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values. Unlike most philosophy text, the author Robert M. Pirsig takes a carefree approach with topics ranging from the meaning of life, to basic manners.  I've already wanted to read this, and thought this would a good time to start. The book contains a series of anecdotes, coupled with general life lessons. The book itself has sold five million copies, and was on the bestseller list. How he ties motorcycles to the concept of Zen is beyond me, but I am excited to find out how.
