Back when I was most disturbed, in my early 20's, I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Quite a soul-searching book for me. All I remember, though, was that while the beginning was quite uplifting, I found the ending too close, too personal, too much of a voyeuristic perch over my own life that I couldn't finish a good protion of the book. I can't remember why -- it's all repressed. But one of these days, I'm going to find the courage to reread it and get through to the end, to find out what was so disturbing that all I have from the book are the early quotes I found so inspiring I typed them out and hung them next to my computer.
So, I can't tell if that's a pick or a pan. ;^)
Cheers,
Bob
