Alison Reads

Twenty-five years after his best-selling Blue Highways, the author takes off again on the road less traveled, in a meandering search for “quoz” which is the word he coined for something unexpected and memorable, a special moment. From his home base in Missouri, he goes North, South, East and West. My favorite part is his description of riding decommisioned railroad lines on specially modified bicycles. The writing meanders too much for my taste, but parts are interesting and it’s worth reading. I liked Blue Highways far better, however.
