Hello, all, it's your pal Charles with another thrilling installment of what I'm sure will be a very long series, Reading Responses. Well, on at least 2 days this week in class I read for ten whole minutes each class. Today I read 2 hours and ten minutes, all of the philosophical tale The Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which my aunt decided to bequeath to me one "frosty" Christmas morn. Anyway, the book centers on, spoiler, motorcycle maintenance, and the intricacies of philosophy that somehow connect to that.
To be honest, the book really didn't look all that interesting. After reading about 65 pages of it, it still isn't all that interesting, though the appearance of mental illness certainly caught my attention. The motorcycle trip in the book seems to have taken a turn for the worst, and I'm expecting more grief will follow. The boy character I really don't care for all that much, ungrateful little brat. I'm predicting he dies somewhere near the end, or maybe he becomes a ghost. There's been a lot of ghost-talk of late, and I can't imagine that's in there for no reason. Whatever the case, I'm sort-of enjoying the book, but not so much that I really feel for the characters.
