I recommend Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence by Robert Persig as a book that will change your life without alienating 99% of your friends and family.

It is a great narrative about the 2 major philosophical, schools of though: Romantic and Classic- which have been in conflict for centuries, and how integrate them. It is not very factualabout motorcycles or Zen, but fortunately, The reader is spared the nervous breakdown the writer experienced.

I wonder how a person goes about studying philosophy without becoming an atheist misanthrope. More than that, where to begin because there is so much to read.

Next on my list, after the Tao of Pooh and the Book of Est...

...and Home Improvement 1.2.3, The Foundation Series, and Oh The Places You'll Go. Now there's a children's guide to Neo-Fascism (aka. Objectivism, in some narrow circles).

Thanks!

I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence some 20 years or so ago. I thought it was interesting, but hardly life-changing.
