Title: greek philosophy and motor maintenance
Review: There is little, to no Zen in this book. It is the story of a man, who at one time was in a mental hospital, traveling across country with his son on a motorcycle remembering the time that led to his break down. He was, before the break down, a anti-social misfit that passes time questioning everything not for answers but to prove everyone wrong. Then more that half way through the book he decides to ask what is quality? Not a soul stretching question, once he becomes fixed on finding the answer he destroys any quality his family once had. This is not an important book. It is only the story of a selfish man that puts himself above all else in his life. I can see where most of the baby boomers, that believed the "Do for you" "Put your needs first" type of psycho babble, probably thought this book was important. The book discusses more greek philososphy than Zen Budism.
Is the review positive or negative?
