JUNE BOOK CLUB: Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Patreon)

On June 1st I will start reading Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance alongside you.

First of all, official acronym for this bitch is ZMM. Let’s get that out the way.

Secondly, this book is half narrative half philosophy essay. The narrative is not particularly fast paced and the narrator is not particularly reliable. The book is simultaneously someone trying to think through something and trying to feel through something.

Thirdly, it is a fictionalized autobiography. You can largely appreciate the events as true.

It’s about 400 pages, so we are reading about 100 pages a week. June 1st is a Wednesday, so each of following Wednesday of the month I’ll post a thread wherein we’ll share our favourite quotes and our ongoing thoughts. That's the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th.

(If you find these quotes compelling you’re always welcome to join in the reading later on!)

FINALLY at thE END on JUNE 30th we’ll do a livestream to talk about the book in real time! I will reference our threads of quotes/Patreon DMs/emails and facilitate conversation.

(Then we move right along to the sequel Lila!)

So off we go together into a thing!

If you want to participate, remember you always have the option of just pulling up a free PDF online, super fucking easy to find. And if you like a physical copy like me, this book is in all of the libraries and stores. All of them.

Happy reading. Keep track of your choice quotes. We are on the side of art etc!

I hope you're seeking Quality today!
