BOOKS ARE FOR PUSSIES: ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE

Man this book kind of creeped me out...kind of like that photo of that custom ride above...i thought it would be a book that

would expand my mind...challenge me to think on some things...which it did...i also thought it would have a little subplot about a father and a son trying to re-connect on the road...which it did...what i didn't think it would be about was mental illness...i've seen first hand a person go from "normal" to mentally ill and it's one of the most fucked up things you could ever witness in your life...it's a game changer for all involved...how you view things will never be the same again...this book reminded me of all that...the psych ward...the meds...the fear...
