Great American Road Trip: Travel books for the road. 2 of 4: Honeymoon with my Brother

Great American Road Trip: Travel books for the road. 2 of 4: Honeymoon with my Brother Aug 6th, 2008 at 10:30AM: When I was picking out books to read on my road trip to Montana from Ohio and back, I wanted a mix of types so that each book would be distinct from each other.

Honeymoon With My Brother: a memoir -- Franz Wisner. Excerpt: ...

Great American Road Trip: Travel books for the road. 1 of 4: Sun After Dark

Great American Road Trip: Travel books for the road. 1 of 4: Sun After Dark Aug 5th, 2008 at 10:30AM: I'm one of those people who haul books when I travel.

David Sedaris's Travel Stories

David Sedaris's Travel Stories Oct 14th, 2007 at 11:15AM: Friday night on a whim, I headed to the Palace Theatre in Columbus to see David Sedaris. Since he was here last year, I hadn't planned to go, but changed my mind. This year, as I laughed those kind of laughs that start to hurt after awhile, huge chortles and the gawfaws--along with everyone else in the audience, I thought about how much his stories capture the aspects of travel that I love.

Jack Keroauc's On the Road Turns 50 Aug 15th, 2007 at 10:15AM: "What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing?- it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye.
