I was assigned that book in high school. Not sure if I remember it precisely, but if I recall correctly, it didn't have much to do with either Zen or motorcycles and more to do with the author's self enamoration. (Not that I would know anything about that.) :jo:

Don't think I ever finished it either. I'm pretty sure my teacher didn't read it either. It was one of those books that everybody fell all over themselves as "amazing", when, in fact, few had actually read it.

Having completed a number of modest personal "quests" myself, I've found that it's rare anyone else is as interested in one's exploits or related "deep thoughts" as the adventurer himself.
