Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

From Google Books

This is a book I’m reading now and it’s recommended by a friend from my college. The book contains 4 parts and I just finished first two when I’m writing those words down. This book is rarely seen nowadays and all about self-reflection in a modern perspective. The author exposed his own puzzling and thinking in a direct way. Very distinct perspective and very profound thoughts. It started with ordinary thing and understanding, moved along a way called logic towards the deeper side of consciousness. All of a sudden, many things we used to became unfamiliar and then eventually wrong. The puzzling of the author is the result of this fact while the sorrow comes from another fact that people do not understand his puzzling. I believe this is a true path when a person is pursing clarity in life, as the ancient Chinese said, “a man of great wisdom often seems slow-witted”.

Although I have not finished the book yet, I can feel the meticulous thinking and sensitive feelings of the author. Amazing or musing is always followed by reading. Even this is a book written in English, I can figure out the nice techniques in wording and subtle changes in feelings.
