Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

I have read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.  There is a Japanese translation of the book, but I have read the English version, because the Japanese version is not available as an ebook.  The dictionary in Kindle helped me to read the book.
The book is about philosophy and motorcycle maintenance.  I learned philosophy in the university, and learned how to ride a motorcycle out of class, so I believe I'm one of the best readers of this book.  However, you don't need any background on philosophy or motorcycle.  Both concepts are well described in both classical way and romantic way.
This book can also be read as a good non-fiction novel, a story of a father, who is the author, and his son.  The author lost his memory, and was traveling by motorcycle with his son, to find something.  I have an 8 year old son, and he is at a rebellious age.  Unlike the author, I have not lost my memory, but I feel difficulty in talking with my son when he is upset.  he often gets upset.  I hope someday we can understand each other like the author and his son.  It may be good to travel by motorcycle with him.  My wife won't permit it, though.
