Zero to Sixty - (Harvest Book) by Gary Paulsen (Paperback)

This book is a heart-wrenching, yet uplifting tale of one man's journey through life, death, and everything in between.

Paulsen, nearing 60 and diagnosed with heart disease, buys his first Harley-Davidson and embarks on a cross-country ride from New Mexico to Alaska, delving into the landmarks of his past and present.

Throughout his journey, he encounters familiar faces and experiences the pure joy of hard work, challenge met bravely, and life lived to its fullest.

With a stark, driving prose style and wry self-deprecating humor, Paulsen's anecdotes are both lyrical and moving, reflecting a rare clarity of mind and expression.

This book is oddly magical from start to finish, and will leave readers with a newfound appreciation for the comforts of hard work and the thrill of challenge met bravely.
