Motorcycle enthusiast and host, Annick Magac, recommends five motorcycle-themed books and one book of poetry. Magac’s choices are eclectic, ranging from a memoir about healing through motorcycle journeys to a classic philosophical novel about motorcycle maintenance. She also includes a practical maintenance manual, and a memoir by a woman who took a cross-country motorcycle trip with her son. Finally, she shares a provocative 1971 poetry collection that reflects the social and political climate of its time. Her selections highlight both personal experience and the diverse ways motorcycling can be explored.
