ZatAMM meant a whole lot to me. I still haven’t figured out how well the philosophy holds up, but it inspired me when I became a teacher–even though I read it at a time when I would not have become a teacher if you had threatened that Donald Trump was going to be president of the country I lived in, if I didn’t–and the idea of quality is powerful in so many parts of my life. I love it more for the fact that my son read it and lives out 
many of the principles that Pirsig espouses.
This is the cover that will always live in my memory, even though the book fell apart some time ago.
