A man on a motorcycle tour with his son reminisces about his life before he became clinically insane and had his first personality destroyed in the interests of mental health. More to the point, this book details the philosophy of Quality that drove him bonkers.
So? This book took me forever to read. I started it in the third week of April, and I was still hauling it around in May. I finally finished it in June, which is a really long time to keep something in my brain. In terms of philosophy, this book is an interesting discussion of the difference between an efficient life and a good life. I didn't find it earth shattering or profoundly moving because it confirmed things that I have always felt intuitively: quality is better than quantity, joy is better than pleasure, etc. But I suppose that was the point.

On a table. Had a brief conversation with another patron, who told me that the book 'changed his life.' He was interested in the idea that I was 'seeding' by books around town before we moved away.
