Best book I read in 2014
I've set up a challenge to read 12 English books in 2014, and so far it looks like the goal is accomplished. And there I'm gonna present you the best book I read in my life so far.
It's a sequel to popular "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig.
And it's not so popular, but as it sait in inscription - it's more deep and valuable product than its famous brother. And it's so fking true %)
It's a first book I started to reread right after and on second reading I discovered so much new thoughts like I didn't read it at all.
The story is about author's alter-ego - a guy, who bought a yacht to stay away from people's babbling and I so well understand him :)
The main topic is "Quality". A thing that has no definition. That's it, when you define it - it's gone.
And that's exaxtly how I live and what my moral choices ground on.
But I felt them and couldn't describe them and answer questions like: "Why would you help people when you don't need to?".
I loved this book and enjoyed it's long calm pacing. Eh, and now I want to read it again %(
P.S. and, yes, you should read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" first to understand what's going on :0
