Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as a masterpiece of American travel writing, Blue Highways is an unforgettable journey along our nation's backroads. William Least Heat-Moon set out with little more than the need to put home behind him and a sense of curiosity about "those little towns that get on the map -- if they get on at all -- only because some cartographer has a blank space to fill: Remote, Oregon; Simplicity, Virginia; New Freedom, Pennsylvania; New Hope, Tennessee; Why, Arizona; Whynot, Mississippi." His adventures, his discoveries, and his recollections of the extraordinary people he encountered along the way amount to a revelation of the true American experience.

Book excerpt: I rode for my son... Over 150 miles of distance separate me from my son. For over three years, I've packed up every other Friday and made the hours-long journey to be with him. It's a sacrifice I've accepted as obligations beyond my control keep us apart. One random Sunday night, before packing up and saying goodbye, my son and I stop off for dinner in a diner, one that we've driven by numerous times over the past few years. Charlotte Grandy, the awkward and cute waitress, captivates not only me, but my son as well. There's a strong possibility I'll never see her again...but I couldn't leave without letting her know how I felt. Soon, I rode for her... A relationship is the furthest thing from my mind, but I couldn't stay away. I don't have much time to offer her; my life comes with baggage, more than any woman should have to deal with. Yet, Charlotte doesn't walk away. It can't last. If one thing in my life is guaranteed, it's that goodbye is inevitable.

Download or read book Creating Mr. Kortan written by Urban Monk and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a memoir of a custom cafe racer build this book is a tribute to a teacher who inspired young people to be creative with their minds and capable with their hands. Growing up in Fargo, North Dakota in the 1970s and 80s, The Urban Monk had the opportunity to develop a love for machines, metal working and motorcycles. This book provides a glimpse into what life was like for the author and his young friends in Fargo during that time. It is also a poignant defense of industrial arts education in public schools. After an over three year effort building a custom cafe racer in his spare time and documenting the entire process in videos shared with the world on his YouTube channel Urban Monk TV, the author tells the story of how this project became more than a custom motorcycle build - it became a tribute to his middle school Metal Shop teacher who inspired him to go on to a life time of peaceful meditation in his garage with a wrench in his hand. Anyone interested in motorcycles, mechanics, do-it-yourself projects or a historical retrospective of life in 70s-80s Fargo will enjoy this pleasant read.
