About this book:
  • A man and his young son embark on a summer motorcycle road trip across America's Northwest, seeking to reconnect and explore the open country.
  • But this is no ordinary vacation. As the miles unspool, the journey transforms into a profound philosophical inquiry, a rolling Chautauqua that seeks to answer one of life's most essential questions: What is best?
  • On a vintage motorcycle, the narrator grapples not only with the mechanics of his machine but with the very nature of Quality itself. He confronts the deep split in modern life between a cold, rational view of technology and a romantic, emotional engagement with the world, searching for a way to heal the divide. Yet, the biggest questions lie within.
  • Dogging his every thought is the ghost of his former self, a brilliant and dangerous man named Phaedrus, whose obsessive pursuit of truth led to his own destruction. This cross-country odyssey is more than a search for answers; it is a confrontation with a haunting past, a flight for sanity, and a powerful meditation on how we ought to live.
  • This profound and deeply personal story is an exploration of life's most fundamental questions—a search for how to live, not just how to get by.

This book (or one with a very similar name) was mentioned in Days Gone when talking to the mechanic at the first camp. Who knew it might be real?

It'd s good book. I think it had a sort of old school macauline identity to it. Read it back in college and id check it out again after a few decades.

This and Lila by the same author I reread every few years. Both are very good.

This book was awful. I had to muster up every bit of willpower to finish it. The characters are dismal and the philosophical discussions of defining "quality" is just a slog all while dancing around issues with mental illness. Why people love this book so much I'll never understand. Couldn't pay me to read it twice.
