[B]Yeah, that experience sounds like it's right out of Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".

One of my favourite books. sometimes I read it and it all makes perfect sense, other times I read it and I don't know what planet Pirsig is on.

I don't know if I've already mentioned it on the forums, but I've just finished reading a book called "French Revolutions". Its a must but for any cyclist, I was laffing out loud often.
Synopsis: slobby non-cyclist decides to cycle the 2000 Tour de France route a month before the race.

Also finishe Armstrongs "Its not about the bike" v. inspiring.

Cue thread for best cycling book/biog/novel.
