WHY DO ROAD TRIPS MAKE FOR ABSORBING READS?

 


Travel changes us. 

Often, a road trip teaches us something about ourselves we could learn in no other way.

In a good novel, your character learns something vital or grows wiser along the way.


From The Odyssey to Titanic to 1999's The Mummy to this year's DEATH ON THE NILE


Characters are brought face to face with themselves and others 

in jarring, dangerous ways that test their assumptions about life and what makes a life worthwhile.



Alternate History meets with Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and star-fallen gods


Steampunk meets Alternate History again with 
Mark Twain.
11 year old Nikola Tesla
and vampire kingdoms warring 
with star-fallen aliens.

John Steinbeck declares in Travels With Charley 

that Americans descended from those who moved: those who left Europe, 

those who were forced to leave Africa, 

and those who came in search of a better life. 

It makes sense that we would be travelers.

 “Every American hungers to move,” he writes. 

But most of us can’t just pack up and leave, so here are 4 Road Trips novels:

2 Not So Innocent Sagas

and 2 Victorian Egyptian thrillers

for those of you who want to avoid 

the  travails of travel

and just enjoy others' misadventures!

  1. I can't think of a lot of road trip novels or movies at hand, but one book that I liked that comes to mind is one that I think is called Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan Maguire and a movie from the 60s, a comedy, called Mad, Mad World.

    1. Jack Kerouac's ON THE ROAD is often mentioned with the better road books. MAD, MAD, WORLD was a great comedy that I thought no one but me remembered. :-) Apparently we have good taste, right?
