Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

I bought this book at the turn of the century (yes, that is a long time back !). And must confess I still have not finished half of it.

But I  must add that my view on the book have changed over the years. When I first started on the book, I thought it was a bit over-rated and put it down umpteen number of times (don't think I ever got past the first 10-15 pages).

But over the years,  as I got past the first few chapters, the book started getting it's hold on me. And now I savour reading it , slowly and almost re-reading parts of it when ever I pick it up again (over time I figured a lot of people have not finished the book , I hope to leave that group soon :)).

So what's interesting in it. The passages on topics like  scientific view points, gravity, ghosts, romantic vs classical view of things are intriguing and will challenge both sides of the brain !!!!
