Andrew left us with a copy of "The Majic Bus" by Douglas Brinkley. A large book to be carrying on a cycling tour. Mr. Brinkley is a history teacher, in 1994 he took his first set of twenty students around the America to experience America's history all the while reading a list of 100 books. He quotes Whitman, Thoreau, Agee, Drieser, Kerouac, Maya Angelou, Henry Miller, Steinbeck, Fitzgerald, Robert Penn Warren, Flannery O'Connor, Robert M. Pirzig, and Charles Kerault. These are just a few writers mentioned in the introduction. The bus was designed to run on Nartural Gas to boot.
On occassion I have been reading "The Magic Mountain" by Thomas Mann, two magics!
