#TDC3422 – Abridged Classics

Wow. This was fun. Not sure why, but I started with the idea of an abridged book as Haiku. Next, I pondered the book and came up with Pirsig.

I've been thinking about some of the themes in this book over the last X months. Opted to abridge Pirsig's classic as a haiku, though the nature angle – mountain passes – may not quite qualify. #tdc3422 #ds106 @ds106dc pic.twitter.com/Fr0V0WpKoS

I grabbed an old image of the cover, modified it a bit in Photoshop, added perspective, a drop shadow, and some DS106 “born on” dating to mark it as a daily create. Then I played with words a bit.

For those who don’t know the book, it’s pretty interesting. Ostensibly a story of a man on a motorcycle road trip with his son, it’s really not about that. It’s a journey into the mind, into meaning, and more.
