Robert Pirsig Passes

I read his book in the 70's.  I flipped it to my book eating son in the early 00's - he decides to do his college essay about a book he read on it.  Simply a great read.  It could have been "Zen and the Art of Radio Fabrication" or "Zen and the Art of Jarring Pickles".  The principles are all the same.

I got a few chapters into it about ten years ago and never finished it, kinda like a lot of books and projects over the years.  Interesting book.
