I am reading it for the 3rd time. 1st time in a few years. Great book. First time I read it was back in high school. Everyone should be made to read this book.

A whole lot of truth within it, both hidden and obvious. It's been a long time since I've read it, but I still remember it. Perhaps it's time to track down a copy!

6. I found another copy at B&N |
|
for like 9 bucks a few years back. I am sure somewhere like overstock.com or amazon, you can get a copy for 5-10 bucks... well worth it

One of my profs in the Mech. Eng. department here at the University held a engineering reading group based on "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and while it was lots of fun, everybody dropped out except three people.
Good source for deep conversation, though.
Edit: Spelling and clarity

is great. I read it last year in high school, and I really didn't care for it because I was basically being forced to read. I read it once again on my own accord and loved it.
