FUNNY BOOKS READ ALOUD TO PASS THE TIME

OH COME ON

Wodehouse, Keillor, Sedaris...

Not a funy or a book, but the BBC dramatisation of lord of the rings rocks.

Also get either hitchikers guide to the galaxy on tape or the radio series.

Where are you driving?

NO NOT KEILLOR

Sedaris OK

xp MT to MN, in one shot (is the plan). I've got the HHG radio series.

my CD burner is broek, tho, so i've got to BUY something at the BOOKSTORE :(

Also I used to love the james Bond books red on tape when I was a kid and John Whyndham.

my friend just drove to NYC from MT and she suggested that, say, "Blood Meridian" would NOT be a good idea.

catch 22 is the only book i couldnt stop laughing out loud at on the plane even tho i tried

red=read

drive further, come to CHI-town

That John Hodgman audiobook is nice.

Sedaris on tape is pretty great.

xposts: YOU HAVE CHOSEN A VERY EXCITING DRIVE, TRY NOT TO GET OVERWHELMED BY THE MAJESTY OF ND.

xxposts: Haven't heard the Hodgman, but I imagine that would also be cool.

ooh, Catch-22! I haven't actually read it yet. Shockingly.

I wanted to go via SD, maybe camp at Devil's Tower (as I have in the past), but I need to catch a flight on Friday morning, and purchase a suit on THurs. How late is Men's Warehouse open???

DO IT

xp

I will!

(other suggestions welcomed, however)

Don't go to Men's Warehouse, go to Nate's in downtown MPLS, dude.

wait waht is nate's

can i shot suit for wedding/med school interviews?

This is a brillant, funny, and altogether perfect book, soaked in research and then aired out on the open plains to evaporate the excess, leaving this modern masterpiece. It makes me want to get in a truck and drive straight out to North Dakota and look at the prairie.” —Garrison Keillor

guys i am hitting the road approx. 3 hours late!

i have had LOTS of coffee! And no breakfast! And I still don't know what I'm going to do with skis :-/

Nate's is a super old school suit store, the sort of place where they size you by looking at you, ask you what it's for, and then bring you suits until you like one. Then you buy it. Probably wouldn't be able to tailor it for you in a day though.

:-/

well, for the wedding it isn't that big a deal

How I Paid for College: A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship and Musical Theater by Mark Acito

The guy who reads the audio version is pretty good.

You can make up 3 hours, man. Doesn't everybody get started 3 hours late anyway? Be sure to stop before you feel seasick, though.

Mark Twain has worked for me in the past. The classics are not to be underestimated as sources of entertainment on road trips.

(Also, good luck with med school interviews. If my ex can get in, trust me, so can you!)

(thanks. i did good on MCAT, so I think my chances---at least at the U---are pretty solid)

Strap skis to roof in some haphazard way, it's the only thing to do.

(xpost - Excellent. That's where my ex is. He just started a couple of weeks ago. You should be in the class after him!)

xp i'm mostly irritated about the running late thing because, as far as I'm concerned, the hours before noon are FREE DRIVING TIME. like, if you knock down 6 hours before lunch, it's like you haven't driven at all. in the same way, hours after dinner are worth 3-midday hours apiece)

xp CD burner is broek
