One of the few novels I’ve ever read twice (though it’s been about 20 years, so it might be time for a reread). A philosophy book in the form of a novel that has very little to do with motorcycle maintenance. Instead, it has a lot to do with the elusive aspects of “quality,” and the importance of attitude in your approach to life.      source

@tallcoachcd @amurshak I read Crawford's book after reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance for the first time--the two in combination are an extraordinary voyage into the nature of work, value, and values.      source
Inspired my cultivation of dynamic quality as a way of life.      source
