I had never really consumed the whole text in my original reading of the book. Rereading it in 1990s finally brought the tale into focus.
Since my first attempt to understand ZMM, my experience had deepened and I was better equipped to appreciate the tale. Like Pirsig, I have supped at the table of academe. The cocktails of arrogance and guile nearly eroded my native curiosity and enthusiasm.

Including this book on my fiction shelf may seem odd to some or even wrong. Even though the book has been analyzed in intricate detail as autobiography for Pirsig himself, the truth is he wrote it as fiction.

"When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt." Amen!
