Lifestyle / BOOKS and ratings

Ever wondered what books your fellow HOON has hidden on his shelves and what they think of them.
this could save us all lots of dollars on bad purchases

Typical Spammers

I agree with your rating on this one mate:

ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE, By Robert M Persig (2)

I herd that was good doh not so good bla

It was all a bit too heavy and not much in the way of bike related, that was just a coinceidence. It has been a long time since I read it, but I remember it could have been about any subject as it was mainly focusing on him dealing with life after his son was shot dead.

Not bike books but,a coupla Autobios of Alex Henshaw (google him)

"Sigh For A Merlin" (5)

And

"Flight of The Mew Gull".(5)

Also the autobio of Kenny Roberts where he reckons Barry Sheene was bit a bit of a cunt.(4)
