.Three Weeks With My Brother City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette by: Nicholas Sparks April 01, 2004 I commute 4x a week to work, which is roughly 130 miles round trip (but very worth every mile), and I am always looking for books on CD to listen to on the ride. This story was wonderful to listen to; it made the drive fly by. I found myself excited to get in my car for my trip back and forth, just to hear the next chapter and adventure. The stories of Nicholas Sparks' childhood were my favorite part. >>See More Reviews & Details on Three Weeks With My Brother |

.Charles Kuralt's America City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette from: Simon & Schuster Audio November 01, 1995 I'm easy on this one. I like Charles Kuralt and I like travel books. I wrote my own travel Book "Hobo-ing America". When I compare my book to his it is easy to see the difference in personalities and "class". Charles Kuralt really writes middle class travel books. He is really not "Route 66", blue collar or working class material. But I understand. You really have to write books for those who can afford to buy them - though Jack Kerouac did pretty well. Charles made a commercial success of his love to travel and he always does it with style, good prose and I would even say poetry. I will always read Charles Kuralt. This book is in the latter part of his career when he was older and even wiser - if that is possible. >>See More Reviews & Details on Charles Kuralt's America |

.A Year in Provence (abridged) City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette from: Macmillan Audio October 15, 1991 I had not heard of this book until I was traveling last week, and a fellow traveler asked me in the Borders at the airport if I knew who had written "A Year in Provence". I did not know, but something in the title peaked my interest, so I googled it on my phone, found the author and read the excerpt on the publisher's site. I fell in love with the descriptions of Le Simiane's cuisine, and had to buy it (which I did as soon as I could find a local Borders). I read it in 2 days - absolutely could not put it down, and I am certain there are some on the Metro in DC who felt as though I had lost my mind when I would suddenly burst into laughter at some highly entertaining little tidbit or description in the book. Mayle has a dry ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on A Year in Provence (abridged) |

.A Walk in the Woods : Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail (Cassette) City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette from: Random House Audio May 04, 1998 There are 2 parts to this book. Part 1 is awesome! It is a great story of 2 men hiking part of the Appalachian Trail and the ups and downs they had doing it. It's funny, witty and well written. Part 2 however lags a bit. The author drives part of the trail and walk parts of it in day trips, not nearly as exciting as part 1. The only thing in my opinion that save part 2 is the history and facts the author talks about. Especially about Pennsylvania and the Delaware Water Gap. Overall I gave it 4 stars. It could have been so much better if he hiked the whole thing, but overall was still a very good read. >>See More Reviews & Details on A Walk in the Woods : Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail (Cassette) |

.I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After Twenty Years Away City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette from: Random House Audio May 04, 1999 This is my 3rd Bill Bryson book and possibly my favorite of his so far. The super short segments (compiled from past published articles) make this book extremely easy to pick up, put down and pick up again. His writing style is exceptionally intelligent, and he finds hilarity in the most mundane of situations. He has a way of making the reader reconsider just how silly much of our lives actually are, while interjecting a few heartwarming and philanthropical comments here and there. Would love a second edition of this! >>See More Reviews & Details on I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After Twenty Years Away |

.Travels in Alaska City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette by: John Muir 1996-03 The beauty of this wonderful reprinting is how it shows John Muir as a person, how it helps us to understand the dynamic and overwhelming beauty of Alaska, and the changes in the people of Alaska. Muir's complete, tireless, and joyful commitment to nature comes through on every page. The book unintentionally provides an excellent portrait of the kind of inexhaustible devotion it takes to change the world as did Muir. The book also provides a stunning portrait of Alaska in the latter part of the 19th Century and allows one to compare the Alaska of those days with Alaska of earlier times and of today. The biggest changes are in the glaciers and in the people. The glaciers have receded dramatically as a natural part of their centuries' long retreat. It is interesting to compare ...

.Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette from: Random House Audio July 01, 2003 I enjoy reading almost anything about antique autos,the early days of the US auto industry, old car trips and stories about the history of early automobile travel in the United States. This is a wonderful companion to the PBS series video on the first successful United States transcontinental auto trip from California to NYC. Great olde tyme photos and a well presented memoir of the adventure. Of course you cannot "just" read the book...the video is a must! >>See More Reviews & Details on Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip |

.The Terrible Hours : The Man Behind the Greatest Submarine Rescue in History City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette by: Peter Maas September 22, 1999 I love reading these type books and hearing these stories, but "The Terrible Hours" was difficult to get thru and was more of a tribute to Swede Momson than the actual rescue of this doomed submarine. I found myself skimming thru pages of technical mumbo jumbo about Momson's experiments in order to read about the actual rescue itself. And the lack of a few diagrams of the interior and exterior of the Squalus, made the book all the more difficult to really understand and grasp the entire story. >>See More Reviews & Details on The Terrible Hours : The Man Behind the Greatest Submarine Rescue in History |

.Peter Mayle's Provence: Included A Year In Provence and Toujours Provence City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette from: Macmillan Audio October 15, 1993 Our whole family has enjoyed being transported to Provence by these tapes while on long distance driving trips. The readers voices conveyed perfectly the flavor and humor of these stories, and wheted our desires to join the author in the bucolic splendor of the French countryside. After a year I still recall the feeling of the warm summer sun and the icy winter winds, the tastes of the provincial restaurants, and the uniqueness of the neighbors and friends we met and enjoyed via these remarkable tapes. Were that all books on tape were as well done and captivating. Highly recommended if you would like to savor the unexpected joys of an often not-so-quiet country retreat. >>See More Reviews & Details on Peter Mayle's Provence: Included A Year In Provence and Toujours Provence |
