5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!, Oct 7 2009

By	H. Neufeld (West Coast BC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Zen and Now: On the Trail of Robert Pirsig and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Paperback)

If you have a bent toward philosophical thought, and an appreciation for a well told story, you'll have trouble putting this book down.

Would probably be helpful, but certainly not necessary, to have read Pirsig's classic 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' at some point in your life. Might have slightly more meaning if you ride a motorcycle, or have ridden one in the past, for a long enough distance and time to realize every machine needs maintenance. And a full appreciation of this book might be deepened if you actually learned how to do motorcycle or other mechanical maintenance, however minimal.

Mark Richardson took the time he needed to write an excellent book. That book, 'Zen and Now', will teach you some very interesting things, provide you with a wide range of wry and humble observations on the human condition and make you laugh out loud.

A real piece of quality I'll be sharing with all my best friends. (Includes some folks who'll never ride or maintain a motorcycle in their entire life.)

And that's from a Canadian, eh.

2.0 out of 5 stars I don't get this, Jun 5 2009

By	Martin Berthiaume "The dark cyclist" (st john's) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Zen and Now: On the trail of Robert Pirsig and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Hardcover)

What is this ?
You could not be any further from Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance by reading that book...who are these people who retrace the steps of the Zen riders ? this does not get any more unzen than this!!
I rarely give up on a book once I am started but I got seriously misled like probably many by this one.
I'm sorry but my God, what is this book about other than milking Robert's Pirsig original ideas?
Sorry , I realise that this is not the way a book review should be made but I'm not a reviewer , I'm just a reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Motorcyclist's Perspective on an Iconic Book, May 6 2009

By	Road King (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zen and Now: On the trail of Robert Pirsig and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Hardcover)

Richardson has written a remarkably thought provoking and engaging account of his re-tracing of Pirsig's famous cross country trek with his son and another couple.
He intertwines that story with his own, and also tells the back-story of the real characters in the book, the places and the people who live there now.
Timed to coincide with the anniversary of Pirsig's book and reflecting on its impact, Richardson has hit the mark (pun intended).
Highly recommended summer reading.
