According to the trusty gps we have 225 miles on our current stretch of I-81. It's audio book time here on the still unnamed road trip. We decided that long stretches of freeway are ideal for that undertaking. The Blue Ridge Parkway was too engaging to listen to a book at the same time. We have Hunger Games, In Defence Of Food, and The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Since Rise and Fall would require us to drive to Germany and back to finish it, and In Defence has already been voted by us as something better suited to reading than listening, Hunger Games it is.
We ate lunch at Cracker Barrel. Did you know they have a redbook type system for audio books? Of course it doesn't help us because we are one of a dying breed: people who have tape decks. It's a long story but needless to say we won't be part of that clan for long. Cracker Barrel's books are on CD. Like everything else in the universe :-)
Here's a view of our current car situation. It makes me laugh every time I look at it. I love it!

ReplyDeleteGood choice on the reading...ugh...listening. In defense is a great book but there are lots of stats and stuff that wouldn't be fun to listen to. That is the part of the book where you 'skim'...or at least I did ;D
