THIS WEEKS LETTER IS: Z

This week's book is Robert M. Prisig's 'Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance'
which I read many many years ago - to be honest I don't really remember much of it.

Synopsis
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" caused a sensation when it was first published in 1974. The story of the narrator, his son Chris and their month-long motorcycle odyssey from Minnesota to California profoundly affected an entire generation. Both personal and philosophical, this book is a compelling study of relationships, values, madness and, eventually, enlightenment

  2. Same here - no Z book. But here is a link to my review of an archaeology mystery set in Greece: The Tomb of Zeus.

  4. I also read this one many years ago, and loved it. In fact, I almost used it for my Z book today, but changed my mind at the last minute. It's a great choice!

    Here's my "Z" book.
