I think I was the wrong age for Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I just couldn't get too excited about Phaedros.
I read it in college as part of a seminar on rhet crit. Enjoyed it. Favorite line? "The best students are always failing." That's me!

It also made me very startled when wossname started talking about "The QUAN" in that Tom Cruise movie. I kept thinking, "Pirsig's back?"
