keeping it real
Read a few while I was on vacation.
One that I particularly enjoyed was Car Camping by Mark Sundeen about a guy who travels around the SouthWest meeting all sorts of people, having a variety of different jobs. For some reason the protagonist reminded me of punkbass a bit (though not completely).
I also read a book called The Fool's Progress : An Honest Novel about a guy's trip East to his childhood home across America and his adventures and memories along the way. It was somewhat depressing but in a good way (like a movie that makes you cry). I didn't read the whole thing and skimmed parts because I had to leave the next day (and it wasn't my book). I thought it skipped around a bit too much and could have been somewhat shorter but I did enjoy it. There was a cool internal monologue in the book that I wrote down in my journal that I may quote later.
I also listened to Dreamcatcher (Stephan King) on audiobook in the car. It was a bit too verbose (as I read/hear King's later stuff I tend to agree that he quality has decreased with age, my favorite work of his, The Long Walk, he supposedly wrote in college, DreamCatcher was written in '97 I think). Still a good story though, actually I haven't finished yet, I'm on Disc 12 or 20.
