RIP, Read it but guess it didn't resonate much, maybe because I was too busy wrenching and riding? I read a bunch of the Carlos Castanada books too. LOL
I think I got about 3/4 through that book and just gave up. It was too deep and obscure for my simple brain.
I've read his book 2 times. It's a challenge for sure. Very deep. What a journey he had. RIP.
Now, that's the spirit !I read 'Zen' many years ago, and found it very hard work, but I got through to the end. stubbornly. I think I'd 'get it' more now, so it's time for another read. RIP Mr Pirsig.

That's an interesting way to think of it. My reaction was more Western, e.g. he basically thought he better wind down some before he ended up like his friend. Incidently I found the series to be very realistic, the biggest difference being I didn't have a new girlfriend in every episode, only about half of them. But I was a lot older than ol' Jim. Michael Parks is one of the best actors around. If he is recording an interview for say a motorcycle something he does it in the Bronson character. It is convincing in a way that you think that is his real personality, but he's one of the best actors and the characters he has played have no resemblance to each other. In fact he's very hard to recognize sometimes, like Sean Penn could be.Now, that's the spirit !
In fact, the Then Came Bronson series was based upon just that premise, that with death comes an opportunity for new adventure.
