Blue Highways by William Least Heat-Moon

5.0

The first time I read it was my senior year of high school, which could have been the best or worst time to read such a book. I doubt there's anything I can add that hasn't already been said. This was the first book to inspire my wanderlust, and this book, along with the Rand McNally Road Atlas, are never more than a few steps away when I'm home (ironic, eh?). Heat-Moon got out of his van, Ghost Dancing, and met America. A journalism prof and photographer, he was just the guy to do it. He was at a crossroads in life and was likely more prone to introspection than most of us.

It remains in my top five, and will be read again before the summer.
