My travels resumed yesterday evening when I drove north to Chatham, NY where my father lives. Aside from missing the Garden State Parkway and, as a result, crossing the George Washington Bridge, the trip was a breeze. I've rented a Mitsubishi Endeavor for the month (a rather large SUV) which is roomy and fun to drive. In my defense, if there's a time to drive an SUV, it is when you are crossing the country, no continent, with nearly everything you own. I may just be justifying myself...
At any rate, I purchased the following books on CD for my trip:
On the Road, Jack Kerouac - "a little too appropriate" in Dan's words
Lolita, Vladimir Nobokov - I've been meaning to read it
Much Ado About Nothing & Hamlet - for fun, these are actually dramatic readings
Lectures on Walt Whitman and his poetry - it was between this and an English lesson, and Mel, one of my English influences, was with me during the purchase
With my ipod, some CD's, the radio, an atlas, and my cell phone, I'm set.
