	| Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
	 |  | Robert M. Pirsig
	 |  Arguably one of the most profoundly important essays ever written on the nature and significance of "quality" and definitely a necessary anodyne to the consequences of a modern world  pathologically obsessed with quantity.  Although set as a story of a cross-country trip on a motorcycle by a father and son, it is more nearly a journey through 2,000 years of Western philosophy. For some people, this has been a truly  life-changing book.
