This is my second attempt to try to read Zen, and I have taken plenty of time to plough through it. I’ve read part one, but cannot seem to muster the interest in pressing on. While I share some of the wanderlust of author Robert Pirsig, some of his quips in the book are too much for my taste.
That’s really why he got upset that day when he couldn’t get his engine started. It was an intrusion on his reality. It just blew a hole right through his whole groovy way of looking at things and he would not face up to it because it seemed to threaten his whole life style. In a way he was experiencing the same sort of anger scientific people have sometimes about abstract art, or at least used to have. That didn’t fit their life style either” (p. 49).
Perhaps I am looking for travel memoir, rather than commentary on life and the meaning of the universe. I may decide to find this book on tape, as one of the other readers suggested. Others tell me it’s a great book.
Passing on to NewEnglandHiker in MA, who is next on the list. Waiting on the address for shipment.
