Not reading, listening to the audiobook "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance". I've seen it mentioned not long ago on hubski too and decided to give it a try. I had no expectations and find it very strange but interesting so far.

As a side benefit (because the book is not really about motorcycles) I had been able to say stuff like "hum you spark plugs are blackened, i think your engine is running rich" to my boyfriend for a laugh now. He's really into motorcycles so I think he likes when I at least pretend to be interested about how his repairs are going on the Maxim.

How are you liking the book? It's been on my list forever, but I keep picking up other books and putting it on hold.

The way it's written is very strange but interesting! I'm not sure audiobooking it was the best decision tho because some concepts can be a bit too complicated to understand right away.

I'm not done yet, so i'm withholding my judgment until I see where his journey (both physical and philosophical) bring him. What I can say is that I've been liking it so far, but mostly because of the way it's written than for the ideas yet.
