Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

Robert M. Pirsig

HarperTorch, 2006

Couldn't put it down.
This was a thought provocing and very enjoyable read. Although it isn't "action packed" or anything, that isn't the point. The author's naration tells the tale of his philosophical journey cross country with his son on his motorcyle. Not only was this book ...

Sweet, well-written. Insightful
Saw the author speak at his first book event last night, purchased the book there, and stayed up all night reading it. Like many, I know now, I couldn't get through Zen and the Art.. during my first read as a teenager. I also didn't know the author was from St. Paul ...

Under and Alone: The True Story of the Undercover Agent Who Infiltrated America's Most Violent Outlaw ...

William Queen

Ballantine Books, 2007

Great Story
This is a great story, what surprised me was that it was not one sided at all. He even recalls a time when police were, lets just say, not acting as they should be. Great read, took only a few days, I recommend it for anyone, law enforcement or not.

Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance

Lennard Zinn

VeloPress, 2005

This is the bible of Mountain Biking
Now although I ride alot, I'm not really big on reading Mountain bike books from cover to cover. And I actually refer to the companion Mountain Biking DVD-Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance DVD more often. This one, on the other hand is just a wealth of ...

Hells Angels: a hard to find modern classic.

Ewan McGregor, Charley Boorman

Atria, 2008

Even Better the Second Time Around--Down?
I really enjoyed their first book, but this one's much, much better. I have to admit that I like memoirs and travel journals better when they're not ghostwritten. I like to hear the voice of the person whose story I'm reading. In other words, I like it to be genuine. ...
