hey, guess what? this isn’t about motorcycles!
i finished it last night, and i’m pretty glad to be moving on. there were parts that really resonated, things that i have been carrying around with me. the book managed to work its way into my day-to-day, and that’s not nothing.
i get that pirsig was bringing on this whole new quality metaphysics, and that’s important and needs to be done slowly. i’m just not as into philosophy as i needed to be to love this book. instead, i took the things about peace of mind, paying attention, and how to pack light for a road trip and spent the wee hours of this morning greedily consuming flannery o’connor short stories like i had just discovered reading.
