Title: Reading the second time in almost 40 years
Review: I read this novel when it first came out in the early seventies (man, that seems a long time ago!) and was very intrigued by it. When I saw the Kindle ebook, I bought it on a whim and gave it a second read. Pretty incredible how different my impression was this time around. I understood more about the philosophers that Mr. Pirsig writes about, and the story line came to me more through the father's eyes than the son's. It was very enjoyable to read the sixites' slang terms like "square" and "groovy" and relate back to those crazy years. I have the sequel, Lila, in hardcover, and now that I've gotten this refresher, I will begin that book.PS the new foreword by Mr. Pirsig is very helpful in getting back into the story. I thank him for that.
