Pros & Cons
Pros
It is like hdtv for your mind. Despite the cover's subtitle--travel stories. It's a great non fiction book and it has turned the way i read from fiction to nonfiction.
Highlights
Quality
I had heard an interview with the author of this book while listening to the connection on npr.
But in other cases the reasons for the author's inclusion of an essay are not apparent.

I was amazed how in one sentence she can say midland is such a small city and the bushes are so woven into it that most poeple seem to have come in contact with them and then never is there any story at all about the bushes that she cares to mention except for the aside about the failed business and that w never made any money
