I have read most of the books listed, but my favorite read has not yet been listed.
Uneasy Rider by Mike Carter is well written and a fun read. He does what most of us dream about. He leaves his work behind for 6 months, buys a motorcycle ( and learns how to ride it) and travels 20,000 miles across western and eastern Europe. It is a lot like Blue Highways on two wheels.

Not so much for learning, but really fun reads, are the “Life Is A Road” series. Written by a rider for riders they are tales of his trips with a LOT of riding tips thrown in, but without being the travelogues that abound nowadays.

They’ve all been mentioned, although there is a kind of sequel to Pirsig’s “Zen…”, called “Zen and Now” by Mark Richardson, a book about re-tracing Pirsigs’ route in the book, and with many of the same experiences, although not as erudite and hard to follow, like “Zen” was/is. Good read, and captures the road and the experience.

Anyone want to retrace the route, maybe next summer?
