The Seagoing Hitchhiker's Handbook : Roaming the Earth on Other People's Yachts
Greg Becker

High Adventures Pub, 1993

Great book!
This book is great, but don't buy anything from Amazon. Your local bookstore can order this book in just a couple of days and you will help keep the small guy in business. Make a vow to yourself not to be lazy!

Fay: A Novel
Larry Brown

Algonquin Books, 2000

Classic. Southern. Great Dialogue. Inspired.
Brown writes dialogue between characters in a way inspired by writers or poets like Robert Burns. It does not make fun of the people that inspire the dialogue, but makes them stand out from the page as real. Flawed persons throughout the novel mixed in with a little ...

Sam Yulish

Dog Ear Publishing, LLC, 2007

A Trip Back in Time
Revisit the past, when you read this book. Remember a time, not too far away, when it was "cool" to care about the world, and common to risk one's safety to express these views. Just where have all these people gone? Perhaps, Dr. Yulish will write a sequel and ...
  
  











  



  
Dirt Music : A Novel
Tim Winton

Scribner, 2003

Dirt Music is the kind of book that can, and should be read, and re-read.
Dirt Music is one of those books that gets under your skin. Comes into your bed with you; changes your dreams; travels with you throughout the mundane details of everyday life. Winton's descriptive prose works both externally in its depiction of the natural land - the ...
  
  











  



  
Hitchhiking Vietnam
Karin Muller

Globe Pequot, 1998

Loved it!
Karin Muller is an honest, fun and entertaining writer and world traveler. The book is a joy to read (finished in 3 days) I have read her newest book Japanland and loved it. As I always do when I read a book by a writer I love, I trace other books by them. Many ...
  
  











  



  
The Asiatics: A Novel
Frederic Prokosch

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005

A beautiful work of the imagination

Hokkaido Highway Blues: Hitchhiking Japan
Will Ferguson

Soho Press, 2003

Outstanding!
I've traveled to Japan over 20 times for business. I've read numerous books and articles about the country because I'm fascinated by their culture. This is the best I've read that captures all that is Japan and the Japanese people. I laughed out loud several times. ...
  
  











  



  
The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time
Douglas Adams

Del Rey, 2005

Douglas Adams' voice still with us.
He left us much, much too soon, but he seems also to have left a lot of wonderful material on his beloved Apple hard drive. This collection, brilliantly read by Simon Jones, and introduced by Christopher Cerf, Stephen Fry and others, reaches broadly to give us Adams' ...
  
  











  



  
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
Tom Robbins

Bantam, 1990

my favorite
Tom Robbins is my favorite writer of fiction and this is my favorite of his books. maybe it's cause it's the first one I read but I love the idea of the world's greatest hichhiker having huge thumbs. LMAOs throughout.
  
  











  



  
Wolf Point
Edward Falco

Unbridled Books, 2005

A black heart, but all heart, and very fine
While I've written about this novel for print, praising not just WOLF POINT but a number of Falco's fictions (in hypertext as well as on the page), I care enough about this author and accomplishment to honor them both again in this medium. Falco's latest novel is ...
  
  











  



  
Thumbs Up Australia: Hitching the Outback
Tom Parry

Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2006

Thumbs up Tom Parry
I was recommended this book by a friend. I must say I was a bit apprehensive as I am not normally into Travelogs, but I must say I really enjoyed it. My only criticism, is that it could have done with some photos of the places that were visited, but other than ...
  
  











  



  
Riding with Strangers: A Hitchhiker's Journey
Elijah Wald

Chicago Review Press, 2006

Hitchhiking 101

The Hitchhiker (Point Horror Series)
R. L. Stine

Scholastic, Inc, 1993

A hitchhiker caught in the worst situation of his life...
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes thriller novels. This book had everything a thriller had to offer to any reader. There were many surprises in this story such as, James didn't kill the old man, but the two beautiful girls did! If someone said that this ...

A Triumph of Memory, a Tempest of Imagination
Smiling ghosts of Mark Twain and Jack Kerouac hover over many pages of Michael Keith's "The Next Better Place." This captivating book places Keith squarely in the same row with America's finest writers of the road adventure story. Which is to say that "The Next Better ...
