Happy Sunday dear friends, as I had anticipated this month I am dedicated to reading "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. My child was left excited, I had heard about it at the time of my youth, when he represented a real cultural phenomenon, and so I decided to try my hand in this enterprise. I must admit that is a very intense book for the strong autobiographical component, really interesting and worth reading, although I could not feel his enthusiasm. The reading was very difficult as most of the book is philosophical and not so easy to follow. Interweave various plans in which the theme is the journey, a journey on a motorcycle that makes the protagonist and his son, describing an America on the road from Minnesota to the Pacific. The trip is an opportunity to relive their past through a series of flash-bakes, how to relate with his son and himself, to represent their ideas by developing a metaphysics of Quality. Everything starts from an observation seemingly trivial because there are people who personally supervise the maintenance of your bike and others that the delegate to the mechanics? The maintenance of the motorcycle becomes a metaphor for the qualities that can overcome the dualism between subject and object, between the individual and technology. We carry the address of two interesting reviews if you want to know more about: http://leggerelibri.wordpress.com/zen-manutenzione-motocicletta/ and http://www.cittadigenova.com/Verba-Manent/La-recensione Zen-The-Art-of-el-11452.aspx. After this reading, considering the time not easy work, I could only devote to something much simpler. Ultimate "The Three Musketeers" I went to "Today" where I have to say I felt a real relief to throw myself in court intrigues and adventures light years away from metaphysics and philosophy ... Best wishes for now, I do not know if I'll be with you for Thursday because I was enlisted into the office all week for the budget business, hopefully good ... Rosa
