Zen

Read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. A remarkable novel, or perhaps three novels in one, interspersed with one another. The ideas explored in the novel about quality and our relationship with technology feel so relevant today. On the whole I found the philosophical arguments put forth persuasive and compelling, apart from a few criticisms about the philosophy of science.
Read two works of children's literature with family. First, Stuart Little. I can't understand why this is a classic of American children's literature. It was alright, but hardly memorable and ended abruptly to me. Second, The Heartwood Hotel. This was a wonderful book, full of imagination and joy, destined to become a classic, I think.
