Way Off the Road by Bill Geist
3.0
Way Off The Road is a series of short ancedotes by Bil Geist about his travels all over the country to tiny communities and odd places. It's an interesting travel logue with some fun characters, interesting places and a few funny moments. It's not a cohesive book and jumps around a lot. The top-10 lists scattered throughout were annoying and rarely funny - they felt forced as did much of the humor. If you like travel stories, are planning a road-trip to small towns or just want a bit of light reading, this is the book for you. If your looking for anything more than superficial, surface reporting, anything deeper about these communities and people, this isn't the book for you. It's the sweet glaze on the top of the cake, not the rich yummy treasure trove of stories I was hoping for.
