    If you are more of a looker than a reader, The Electroline Diaries is a good "read."

    "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Mainenance"
    It's about what the word "quality" means.
    "Lila"
    More about quality...
    both by Robert Pirsig



    "Old Tractors and the the men who love them"
    "Busted Tractors and Rusty Knuckles"
    both by Roger Welsch.

    and a "city slicker" like me can enjoy Roger's philosophy of life and them tractors too.
