Chapter Two Hundred Twenty-Two: Way off the Road

I thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook of Way off the Road, read by the author, Bill Geist, who is (or was?) apparently a big name at CBS.  Way off the Road offers a collection of vignettes about some of the most unusual places Geist has visited in America, which include a town with only one resident, a town where the parade stands still and the spectators walk around it, and various towns with unusual festivals.  There are also a few little pieces about the joys (travails) of traveling, which are close enough to the mark to be quite funny.  This is just the sort of entertaining and lighthearted nonfiction that I particularly enjoy, and I certainly recommend it as an interesting diversion!
